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).

I like Lucien too as well as Mikhail and Yannick.

Oh Laszlo is brilliant. I’d forgotten that one. If I ever get a male cat I’m calling him Laszlo.

I love Etienne too!

Also like Konstantin (which is pronounced Konstanteen where I live).

I've always loved Etienne and Vittorio
Ahh any boy I have will have the middle name Vittorio as it is a family name. Didn't think I could get away with it as a first name as we are now several generations English. But definitely a second name.
