Help[Opinions] Turkish names
I’ve gotten hooked on a Turkish soap (and yes, it’s as bad as it sounds, lol) and it’s got me thinking about Turkish names.
Some from the series/actors I like:
FEMALE:
Şehrazat (pr. ş=sh) -but I prefer Shahrazad
Nadide
Peride
Firdevs
Ayse (pr. s=sh)
MALE:
Volkan -how cool is this? I bet Trekkies would love it:-)
Faruk -not sure of the spelling, it might be Faruq
Hakan
Kerem
Kudret
Kaan
Demir
Halit
And a totally funny one - Buket, which is Croatian word for a buquet (as in flowers). Oh, and her two sisters are Burcu (pr. c=g in George) and Burcin (c=ch), so machy names are alive and well in Turkey too:-) They were all named in honor of their grandfather Burhan.
What do you think of them and what are your fave Turkish names (here’s a link to the ones that are in the database: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/tur.php )
*I love it that Simba and Aslan actually mean lion:-)
