[Games] Re: Romanian CAF-*screams a little*
I know they don't really do middle names this way in Romania (when they even use middle names at all), but work with me, okay? I really like a lot of Romanian names.

Did I do this wrong or does the second daughter not get a family?

oh i should've clarified- the second daughter doesn't marry or have kids. which defeats the point of including her in a name game i guess? next time i'll include a cat that can be named.
AND OMG YOU LOVE ROMANIAN NAMES TOO...they rarely get love..i'm glad you liked these all enough to choose two/three (!) middle names. Cosmin Silviu Dragos Balauru-Dobescu is so good. and ahhhhhhhhh you like Silviu? that's one of my favorite names, but it didn't get much popular feedback on here.

OH MY GOD YESI LOVE ROMANIAN NAMES. I write a story that is set in modern day, but it exists as if the Romanian royal family were still in power. And I didn't use the real royals. I don't care for writing about real people. Instead, I just brached off at some point in the 1800s and started creating my own original characters for the family so that I wouldn't be creepy and writing like fanfiction of people I didn't know. haha.Anyway, this story exists as if the royal family had come back into power not long after the revolution and MY MAIN CHARACTER IS NAMED SILVIU. Only thing is that through a series of things you probably don't care about, it ends up being Silvio. The royal family has close ties to some other cultures so I mix in other cultures names -namely Russian and English, but I searched for a lot of Romanian names to try to keep things as accurate and normal as possible. I know Silviu isn't really a young person name and my Silvy is 35 (34? I can't remember), but I thought it would be okay if I namesaked him after someone older so I did that and justified it. Their family name is Stolojan which is why I chose that one to be the other surname I used in this game. That Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen is involved too, but I'm sure that's a story you don't care about so I'll spare you.
My princes however are named:
Nicolas Iulian Augustin
Michael Dumitru Adrian Valentin
Alexander Silvio (changed from Silviu) Sebastian ConstantinThere's in an-story reasoning for why I gave an extra name to the younger two brothers, but I tried to follow some patterns for some older royals while still using the names I wanted. idk.

i wanted variety, so i put a kid who doesn't marry or have kids, but i guess that defeats the purpose of the game hah. WOAH she gets a big family! and all with lovely names!!Ileana is one of my favorite names and so top picks for a daughter myself, and though i never heard of Nedelea before, it goes well with that and Georgeta. Miruna is also a fave, and Anemona (didn't know there was a form of Anemone), Codrin, Tiberiu, Dorin, and Viorel are also lovely. Mircea i'd love if not for the author, and a personal association i'm conflicted with. Ruxandra Anemona Miruna and Viorel Dumitru Dorin are the best combos imo. it's nice to see someone else who knows and likes so many Romanian names!

I actually went to find you some info on Anemona and the wikipedia for Romanian names came up and this website.
So, here's the Romanian name wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_name (Fourth paragraph down.)And here is this website's submitted name: https://www.behindthename.com/name/anemona/submittedAlso namepaedia which I put no stock in whatsoever. haha. http://www.namepedia.org/en/firstname/Anemona/ And I find a lot of my names (for any country I write about) by using pen pal sites and looking at the people's names there. For example: https://www.languageforexchange.com/members/Language-Exchange-in-Romania-by-Anemona.html
Nedelea is the name of a village in Romania and I have never seen it used as a name personally, but I saw it mentioned on this site once and I like it so I use it. It's in the meaning here:
https://surnames.behindthename.com/name/nedelcu/submitted Also, I see Codrin didn't link. Ugh. I've considered before writing siblings named Codrin(a) and Silviu. They live in Transylvania and are probably wood nymphs/sprites/something. ha!Unrelated: I had a character once named Foxglove. He was as poisonous as his name suggests. I love the sound of it though.
