English sounding Turkish names?

[ChipmunksInAttic]

Hello,

I’m expecting my second son, and trying to pick a name, which is really difficult!

Our favorite at this moment is “Efe”, and “Aras” as a middle name. What do you think about those names? Anything to make fun of at school? Efe reads like Eh-fe (as in cafe) and Aras is like Ah-ras.

Another name we thought about were Ates (sounds Atesh).

My older one is called “Deniz” by the way, so it’s not an option anymore :)

Thanks in advance!

I know a young half-Turkish lad named Eren.

Love the name and his mum told me it was Turkish.

Batu
Enes
Ramy
Kann

Elif is a girl's name in Turkey. It will never be a boy's name.

Meant to type don't know any male elifs
Though do know a female Emre.

Ah just read the title - for a boy not girl - ooops!

Emre, Mert, Furkan, Eren.

Bertan

Barbaros

Already mentioned above a couple of times, but I know an Emre, pronounced em-ray, so not very hard :)

Ali

Cem is definitely my favourite Turkish boys name, obviously the C pronunciation may be an issue at first, but you/he only need tell people once, almost everyone will remember.

Caan
Ezel
Mete
Ahmet

Maybe not particularly English sounding but I love the name Doğu

Enis
Emre
Emir
Omer
