🌍 eurovision names 2023!

hello friends!! yesterday, the final artist for this year’s eurovision was announced, so i thought it’d be fun to look at all artists’ names together, because it’s an interesting collection of names from all over europe!

(some quick context for non-european berries: eurovision is an annual international music competition that brought to the public eye artists like ABBA, [name_f]CĂ©line[/name_f] [name_m]Dion[/name_m] and MĂ„neskin! each country sends a song, the winning country hosts the competition next year)

Noa is one of my favorite Hebrew names and Paloma is one of my favorite Spanish names.

I also like Elen, Daniel, Simone, Teodora “Teya,” Olesya, Tereza, Rani, Alika, Fatima Zahra, Alessandra, Marisa and Isabel but not together, Theodor, and Andrea.

Thank you for sharing!

[name_u]Loving[/name_u] [name_m]Remo[/name_m] (never heard this!), [name_f]Alessandra[/name_f], Karlis, [name_f]Zahra[/name_f], [name_f]Olesya[/name_f], [name_u]Rani[/name_u] and [name_f]Tanita[/name_f]!

Never heard of [name_f]Tanita[/name_f] and [name_f]Olesya[/name_f] but I like them a lot

European here. I love [name_f]Teodora[/name_f]! And [name_f]Blanca[/name_f], [name_f]Paloma[/name_f], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_u]Jere[/name_u], [name_m]Marco[/name_m], [name_u]Rani[/name_u], [name_f]Elen[/name_f] and [name_f]Albina[/name_f] are great.

Yesterday during the first semi-final the name [name_m]Remo[/name_m] hit me as very pretty.

Also - Tural and [name_f]Turan[/name_f] are probably the most matchy set of twins to ever exist. One letter difference!

Also , loving the fact that [name_f]Marisa[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] has the stage name Mimicat - How much cuter can that get? :cat:

I also like the names [name_u]Pasha[/name_u] and [name_m]Dion[/name_m] for males. They’re not too masculine but not too feminine , short and sweet. I knew a [name_u]Pasha[/name_u] in middle school who was Ukrainian.

Looking forward to the second semi final. Maybe some names will grow on me in the process.
