Re: Favorite name from your culture, Favorite name from a foreign culture...?
in reply to a message by Joiya
Honestly, most names that I love seem to be outside my culture. I have a particular fondness for Polish and German names, but to my knowledge, I have nothing Polish or German in my family. Let's see...
Spanish girl names that I love: Esperanza, Guadalupe "Lupita", and Estrella.
Spanish boy names that I love: Ramón, César, and Timoteo. (although, despite our Spanish background, I have a feeling these names might also seem too "out there" by my family. sigh).
English girl names that I love: Cassandra, Hope, and Georgina.
English boy's names that I love: Micah, Wesley, and David.
Cultural Clash girl names that I love: Anetka (Polish), Janica (Hebrew), and Nefertari (Egyptian).
Cultural Clash boy names that I love: Engel (German [Ancient Germanic]), Ibrahim (Arabic), and Piotr (Polish).
