ArchivesRe: Deniz, Bela, Mirko
in reply to a message by Cleveland Kent Evans
I just noticed Deniz at 3 places above Mustafa, and I think that's also Turkish. Bela and Mirko are above those two, but I think of Bela as Hungarian and Mirko as Slavic. Does anyone know if Turks in Germany use them?

I read on another message board that Deniz was a popular baby name among Turkish-German couples - probably its similarity to Denise and Dennis makes it particularly attractive.
Bela and Mirko are actually used by German parents. Bela probably owns its popularity (if rank 170 is "popular") to German rock singer Bela B. Felsenheimer. Mirko is, I assume, an alternative to Marco, which has been around for a while (It's on rank 95 in that list).
I've never heard of any Turkish parents using these names.
