Sevim
Serpil - THATS what a name should mean!!!
Ulku - very adorable sound to me, prob bc im Hungarian and the ü sound is one of my faves about the language (which im otherwise very ambivalent towards)

Yay! More questions like this so we can have more names than just Jasper and Alice sometimes.
Okay, let's see...
F:
Adalet
Arezu (I used to have a lovely friend named Arezu. Her sister was named Mitra.)
Ayla
Ceren
Esma (Though I think of this as more of a Romani name, they could be from the same source. I have no idea.)
Esen
Jale
Kadriye
Kiraz
Rabia (Just discovered this name yesterday actually.)
Sabriye ♥ ♥ ♥
Seda
Süheyla (I used to know a lovely little Suhylah which is the spelling I prefer.)
Yonca
Let me think about male names and I'll add on.

Hi Perrine !!!
I have many Turkish names in my PNL.
First of all I agree with Nuray and Ayla. Iove the 'ay' suffix but I don't know the 'mir' part of Miray.
I prefer Amina to Emine.
Alya seems too much Aaliyah..too religious vibe. I prefer Firdaus of the same theme but it is Persian.
Eylul is great! I Will add It immediately!
My Turkish names from my list 'Grande Asia':
MASCULINE
Altan 'red dawn"
Arslan 'lion'
Ayaz 'frost' or 'little moon'
Bülent 'mighty'
Cem (Turkish for Jam)
Emre 'friend'
Gunes 'the sun'
Metin 'strong'
Murat (Turkish for Murad)
Serkan 'leader, chief'
Utku 'victory'
Yilmaz 'dauntless'
FEMININE
Aygül 'moon rose'
Aysel 'moon stream'
Ayşegül (Ayşe + Gül so the Turkish for Aisha Rose)
Burcu 'fragrant'
Doğa 'nature'
Döndü
Ece 'queen'
Ilayda a water sprite
Lale 'tulip'
Meltem 'sea wind'
Meral 'roe deer'
Nesma (Turkish for Nasima 'breeze')
Nihal 'joyful'
Öykü 'story'
Selma (Turkish for Salima)
Sibel (Turkish for Cybele)
Sonay 'last moony nights of summer'
Sultana
Yagmur 'rain'
