Help[Opinions] From my list: Katarina, Ivanka, Mila, Svetlana (m)
in reply to a message by RegalAmethyst
You have so many good ones to choose from here!
My favorite girl name on the list you linked is definitely Katarina. My favorite boy name on the list is easily Valentin. They have both been on my list for a while now.
Here are all the ones I really like (many are on my list):
Girls- Adela, Adriana, Alena, Amalia, Helena, Ivanka, Iveta, Jana, Katarina, Mila, Paulina, Svetlana
Boys- Alois, Gabriel, Konrad, Stanislav, Valentin, Vladislav
To answer your other questions:
~I live in the U.S., and I'm of British descent.
~I love English names, as expected.
~But I also have a weakness for Hungarian and Italian names.
~I would use any name from any ethnicity or background as long as it was a great name

I would love to do that, but I worry that people will feel like I'm butting in on their culture. Just for instance, there are a lot of Hebrew names that I love, but I'm not Jewish. I'm not even Christian. How would I explain that to someone if they asked? I don't know if people are quite that accepting just yet.

As you know, there is a difference between ethnicity and religion. As a christian, I would be annoyed if a non-christian named their child God. But as a person of English descent, I would not be annoyed if a person not of English descent named their child something English.
If for some reason, a Hungarian person, or any person for that matter, comes up to me and asks why I used a Hungarian name, eventhough I am not Hungarian, I will simply say something like, "It is just one of my favorite names," and leave it at that. They don't need a long explanation.
