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'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.

Zain and Milan are lovely.

I love Etienne too!

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

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

I like Lucien too as well as Mikhail and Yannick.

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.

Oh, forgot Constantin and Valentin.

Another here who loves Etienne!

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.

I love Slavic names. They're just so much fun to say.
