Help[Opinions] Turkish names
I’ve gotten hooked on a Turkish soap (and yes, it’s as bad as it sounds, lol) and it’s got me thinking about Turkish names.
Some from the series/actors I like:
FEMALE:
Şehrazat (pr. ş=sh) -but I prefer Shahrazad
Nadide
Peride
Firdevs
Ayse (pr. s=sh)
MALE:
Volkan -how cool is this? I bet Trekkies would love it:-)
Faruk -not sure of the spelling, it might be Faruq
Hakan
Kerem
Kudret
Kaan
Demir
Halit
And a totally funny one - Buket, which is Croatian word for a buquet (as in flowers). Oh, and her two sisters are Burcu (pr. c=g in George) and Burcin (c=ch), so machy names are alive and well in Turkey too:-) They were all named in honor of their grandfather Burhan.
What do you think of them and what are your fave Turkish names (here’s a link to the ones that are in the database: http://www.behindthename.com/nmc/tur.php )
*I love it that Simba and Aslan actually mean lion:-)

I think Nadide and Kaan are nice. I'm not into Turkish names, but I do like Sibel (f). It's not in the database, but it's user-submitted if you searched for it.

Turkish names are so nice, I like all the ones you mentioned.
Turkish people I know or have known: Nilgin, Arkin, Ayse, Hulya, Engin, Ilfet, Yildiz, Osman, Tulay, Derya, Emine, Emir and a bunch of Mehmeds and Ahmeds.
Some others I like: (f) Pembe, Aylin, Gizem, Nimet, Senay, and (m) Selim, Cemil, Baris.

I love Aslan! Too bad it's too famous as a lion or I would actually consider using it.

I've got three turkish students whose names I really like
Tolga Emre (Emre is his uncle too), Gamze and Koray. I reallly like Tolga, I dislike the name Koray because it always reminds moe of Cory/Kory, which seems to be the name of alot of juvenile delinquents here.
Also when I was in Turkey I liked:
Ishmail (sp?) I thought it was unusual
Hadar
Mehmet (times a million!)
Tolga
Bulan ??( it kinda sounded like Bull-ant but im not sure, it was a male name?
Pinar (a friends name)
Eda
Aylin

Well, the recent movies have brought the story back to the spotlight otherwise I doubt many would know it. I was a huge fan of the British series back when I was a kid and it was very popular here.
But, yeah Aslan is a good namesake:-)

Oh my! Kelebek is fabulous! It's so butterfly-y, not like in English where the poor animal is just a fly stuck in butter.
I also like Suleyman.
It's funny watching it (it's the first Turkish show I've seen) and see all the words that we use that came from Turkish (Bosnia, Serbia and parts of Croatia were under the Ottoman Empire).
