[Opinions] Re: Hungarian names
I live in the US, was born in the US, but both my parents are from Hungary. I have a very Hungarian name, my dad's name is Balazs. Three years ago, I had a son and named him Benedek. We are pregnant again (due in September) and are seriously considering a sibling name that is Hungarian as well. My Magyar favorite names are: Girls:
Julianna (My aunt's name)
Katalin
Margit (My mother's name)
Amalia
Emese
ZitaBoys:
Benedek ("Ben")
Sandor (my grandfather's name)
Kalman
Kristof
Karchi (nickname not on the board but used by Hungarian friends, it's a nm for Charles)

oh, wow!Benedek is awesome, I like it very much! Karcsi (spelled like this) is in the database :-)
Budgerigars, ceiling fans, the Times of India are all part of the luggage I brought into the world... Blue Jesus leaked into me; and Mary's desperation, and Joseph's revolutionary wildness, and the flightiness of Alice Pereira... all these made me, too.
