I have a daughter Lilian Molly Puskas and am thinking of Helena or Miriam for number two. Potential second name Lina and last name Puskas.

So

Helena Lina Puskas or
Miriam Lina Puskas

The name has to work in German, French, English and ...... Hungarian ...

Any comments or help !!

I suggest that, not just because it is pretty, but also because I know one (now grown up) who has a sister called Lilian. They are German / American and live in Spain and it seems to work in all those languages (the name itself is Italian fwiw)

Otherwise:

Melissa
Maya
Sacha
Naomi

If you like Sasha, then what about Saskia?

Ooh - Saskia is lovely.

Saskia is a name you have to be thin and pretty to carry off. Maybe I just think that because I know a solid limbed, red-cheeked, roger ramjet jawed Saskia. I know these thoughts are evil. NO NEED TO TELL me I am evil. I know.

The only Saskia I know is a lovely, but very voluptuous young girl.

Yes I had been thinking Saskia too, but I just can't get this image of a 6ft tall, statuesque Dutch woman with long blonde hair, out of my mind when I think of Saskia.

However I love Victoria. I know one Belgian one here, ironically with a Helena for a sister.

Saskia is good but we do not want it too sound too foreign and I feel with Puskas we definately on the foreign side !

Still like Victoria and Helen ....

What about Anna? Seems to work in all languages. Some would say is it boring, but I love it.
