What are your favourite foreign BOYS' names?

By foreign, I mean non-English language.

I quite like Lucien and Sacha but both would be butchered in the country I live in! I'm also a fan of Renzo (short for Lorenzo).

Tadgh (as you said non-English language). Absolutely love it, and wish I had a smidge of Irish in the family to justify using it.

Also Ibrahim.

ParadiseLaundry · 11/07/2021 19:56

Another here who loves Etienne!

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/07/2021 19:39

Oh, forgot Constantin and Valentin.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 11/07/2021 19:37

Really like some of the Scandi ones - Mads, Lars, Leif, Soren, Erik, Anders, Stellan. Plus Russian Maxim and Lev, the Spanish Xavier, Inigo and Santiago, and Italian Aurelio, Elio and Matteo and French Bastien, Marius and Armand.
