Ximunnote on Basque: the 'h' is silent, 'x' makes a 'sh' sound, 'tz' and 'ts' make a soft 'ch' sound, and names ending in '-e' sound like 'eh'

I love Basque names. Some of them are so lovely and light, and some of them look like a mouth full of marbles. I like that many of the names have nature meanings, and I like Basque forms of common European names. Of the ones you listed, my favorites are Maialen (LOVE), Ainara, Esti, Eder, Erramun, and Iñaki. I also like:Alaia
