ArchivesWay cool, Mike! Interesting to see that we have some scarcity of names in ethnicities that are easy to supplement with meanings off the Net: Cornish (great language for names!), Turkish, and Latvian are three easy ones. Would you like us to work on bee

Submissions always welcome...
... and much appreciated.
If you want to make my part of the job really easy, format the names as in this example:
Michael - (m) "who is like God?" (Hebrew)
Mike - (m) Short form of [Michael ]
Michaela - (f) Feminine form of [Michael ]
Kim - (f,m) ...
etc.
Surround the names that you are linking to with [square brackets].
Thanks!

Regarding Esperanto names...
On the 'net, Esperantists regularly substitute the letter "x" following a letter in an Esperanto word which would normally require a circumflex or breve over the letter.
Can you put the circumflex and/or breve back into the word, if I include a note with each submitted entry, indicating over which letter the accent mark belongs? I know you've been doing other accent marks for names on your site.
And, yes, there really do exist bona fide Esperanto names. :) Many are "esperantized" versions of names common to most European nations, such as John (Johano), Susan (Suzana), Michael (Mihxaelo, Mikaelo, Mikelo), Mary (Maria, Amara), etc. But there are also quite a few names which Esperantists have taken for themselves or have given to their children, which are actually Esperanto words, such as Aminda (lovable), Amika (friendly), and Miela (honey-sweet).

Nan,
If you would like to submit Esperanto names that would be great.
Regarding accents: I can and will do circumflexes but not breves. For a complete list of the accents possible in HTML see this page:
