I know a lovely Romanian girl called Anda; that’s quite pretty.

Would she have had a name before? I'd be tempted to say them to her and see if she reacts, in case any are similar to her old, pre-shelter name.

Sorina

You want a name that’s easy to respond to - 1 or 2 strong sounding syllables

@AllTheNameAreTakenEvenThisOne they learn it like a command rather than identity. So it would be like relearning off for down etc. They aren’t bothered by learning new words.

Crina

Ruxandra - Ruxie for short
