Basque names

Definitely just for fun. I’m a really big fan of Basque names and wondering what you think of these or how they sound to someone outside the area. Any others you know?

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites: [name_m]Eneko[/name_m], [name_m]Ander[/name_m] and [name_m]Julen[/name_m]

Arantzazu (g), [name_m]Eloy[/name_m] (b) and Covadonga (g) are children of a Basque father and a non-Basque Spanish mother. They’re a few years older than I am. [name_f]Arantzazu[/name_f]’s son’s name is [name_m]Gorka[/name_m], and they have relatives named [name_m]Inaki[/name_m] and [name_m]Iker[/name_m]. Very cool and dramatic names!

@Lussinatta Iñaki is lovely and I wish I could bring myself to have it on my actual list but I struggle with accepting the trouble the ñ would probably bring. Covadonga and Aranzazu are definitely very dramatic (in a good way!)

I like [name_m]Lander[/name_m], [name_m]Ander[/name_m], [name_m]Julen[/name_m] and [name_m]Iker[/name_m]
