Help[Opinions] Names of Polish politicians
Looking at names of candidates for the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament. I've included those I found the most interesting – what do you think of them? Do any stand out?
Lilit: Armenian
Jan Longin (YAN LAWN-geen): Longin is the Polish form of Longinus
Walentyna (va-len-TI-na): Polish from of Valentina
Denis Janusz (DEH-nees YA-noosh): Janusz is very common among Polish men of a certain age. Denis very much isn't
Cezary Edwin (tseh-ZA-ri ED-veen): Edwin is far from common in Poland
