What are your favourite foreign names?

[OneUmberJoker]

As non traditional in your country
I would say
Diego or Mario

Immanuel (for a boy)

Fabrizio

@Calliopespa I didn’t think it was nice until I learned how to pronounce it. I saw it like you until then.

We all associate things and people with names though.

2 of my granddaughters are Faith & Hope. I have custody of them and I hate telling people their names lol. They are so trite sounding together.

Agnieska, Edyta, Katerina, Ilja, Tova, Yaiza.

Nikolei, Sergei, Dmitri, Felipe.

Yes, well I'm sorry. I regret my hasty post.

I agree the Faith and Hope is quite 😬

Nilufar

dd2 had a friend with this name (mostly called Nilu which is also lovely). I just love it.

Love Aurelia for a girl and Riyad for a boy.

Why hasn't Florian caught on in the UK? Or Stiliyan?

We have some Turkish friends whose daughter is called Miray - "shining like the moon". It's beautiful 😍
