So...these would be names for me. Long story short: my father moved me, before I could graduate high school in America, to his home country in Hungary. I was taught some of the language very late, in my teens, and very unsuccessfully. I have enormous difficulty speaking the language- even when I speak it well, my natural stutter (that I have even in English) make others believe I don't know it at all.

I get a lot of annoying questions on how dare I have a Hungarian name (an EXTREMELY Hungarian name) and yet not know the language. Most people think I don't care to learn it, not that it's uniquely hard for me because of a private learning disability. I have to somehow master it anyway so I can start college already, since taking classes in English would be too expensive.

Anywayyyy...I wanna change my name. This is one reason, but there are many others don't worry. Sucks actually that I love a lot of Hungarian names, but they don't suit me and I don't feel connected to this culture.

I'm looking for names used in many European countries, ex Anna, Johanna. Also maybe ones that don't sound so feminine? That'd be hard though. I also wouldn't mind exclusively Romanian names, because I'm half Romanian, though maybe that's not a good idea because 1. my father would disown me lmao 2. it may be wrong to use it if I'm not so tied to the culture 3. I'd open myself up to discrimination here.
