I love the way Japanese is written down and I love Japanese names. I donāt really know what other languages I like. I do French at school-I really annoyed the teacher by asking if these 2 people were a boy or a girl. She said I should be able to tell from the names but I told her that names donāt always specify gender and that some people call their daughters [name]James[/name] etc. I donāt think she likes me anymore. I used to like the sound of Italian but dislike Italian names. loving the thread!!!
I love Japanese too!!
We have to learn French at school, and our teacher it one of those people who seem to think that they are in drama all the time, using rather āflutteryā voices. (She is a drama teacher as well)
My friend knows Italian fluently an Iām so jealous!!

I love Chinese, Japanese, and Italian. I actually know Chinese (not fluent, but proficient) However, it doesnāt relate to my naming style⦠I do love Chinese names though because I think itās so so cool how they all have a meaning. Like [name]Ming[/name] Yue means bright moon. However, I donāt plan on giving my children Chinese names since they will only be 1/4 Chinese.
I would never do Japanese since I donāt want to impose a culture on my child that they arenāt, and Italian would be if it just happens to be Italian, like [name]Isabella[/name], otherwise Iām not going to go out of my way to give my kid an Italian nameā¦
^ are you sure? You might meet a nice Chinese guy.
Anyway, Iām American and studied Spanish for many years and a year of French. Basically, itās enough to hep me understand the pronunciation behind the names and thatās it. However, I also speak Mandarin Chinese (Im currently living in Shanghai).
I like Chinese names because there are no set names. They are invented for each child uniquely, using pre-existing characters. My sonās name is the characters for āhome, familyā å®¶ and āto soarā. ēæ. Itās pronounced Fu JAH shyang. ä»å®¶ēæ (Fu is the surname). I think itās really awesome that my son has both a meaningful English and Chinese name.
Well Iām engaged and he is 100% white, so yeah Iām sure. My mom is Chinese, but she didnāt give me and my sister Chinese names, we have American names so it would just be weird to give my child a Chinese name. My mom also didnāt share her culture, so there is no real reason to pass it on.
French by farā¦I guess it sorta influences the names I like, but not REALLY. I like a lot of very different names.
I like French and English (obviously) and Gaelic. I only speak English and high school French, though. I think my heritage influences the names I like. Iām part French and part Irish, so I like names such as [name]Rodolphe[/name] and [name]Roisin[/name]. If I happened to be part, say, [name]Indian[/name] and part Russian, I would probably like [name]Indian[/name] and Russian names. Iām a stick-to-your-roots kind of girl
Iām actually not that keen on English but I have to talk it (obviously) else no one would understand me
I can speak Welsh and English fluently, and Iāve learnt a lot of Spanish (I can read and understand a lot, but find it difficult to speak it fluently)
When I do settle down and have children, I would love for them to have a Welsh name (Either first or middle name) Most of my favourite boys names are Welsh, but I have a soft spot for [name]Jude[/name], so that would have to fit in somewhere. And for girls, I like Welsh names, but thereās a lot of English names I love too. So it would depend on what I like when I do have children.
But I love the sound of French and Spanish names, and a few Italian. But I feel it would look silly naming a child something thatās too French or too Spanish where I live, but I do love the names!
My favorite language is Sign Language, but that might only be because itās the only other language Iām fluent in besides English (Iām American).
I love the way name signs are given though. They take a physical or personality trait of the person and (most often) combine it with their first initial.
My name sign ([name]Tressa[/name]) is the sign for hair (wavy) combined with a T, because not only do I have very long wavy hair, but a ātressā is a lock of hair.
My favourite languages are French, [name]German[/name] and Persian.
Basque, for sure!
I used to be in love with Catalan/ Valencian but after moving to the Basque Country last [name]September[/name], Basque is for sure my favourite language. It has definitely impacted my list. I think Basque names are really interesting, and Iām thankful I got to kind of experience them firsthand through working at a high school.
I still have some Valencian names on my list, a couple Spanish ones (the whole āinterest in Spainā sparked my moving to the Valencian Community and then the Basque Country), and a couple French ones, too (Iāve been bilingual in French and English for as long as I can remember)
I donāt particularly care for French or Spanish, but Iām comfortable with the languages and therefore the names.
I loooove listening to Basque all day, though!
I can speak norwegian, swedish, english, french, italian and german and I think theyāre all beautiful. I wish I could speak russian and hebrew, they sound so amazing. My favourite names are mostly english, greek and welsh though.
Iām a big fan of Italian, and I have a fair number of Italian names on my list, my number one girls name is Italian.
I also like Russian, and I have a Russian name or two on my list as well.
WOW!!
I also wish I could speak Russian and Hebrew, that would be cool!

I agree, French by far! I took French for two years in high school, I absolutely love it. Itās such a beautiful language, and Iām so mad I let it go. (I never sold back the college French book that I almost took courses in, though, so Iām trying to re-teach myself! ha!)
I learned far more Spanish than French, though, and I do like the language⦠I just donāt love the names! haha. I guess I really do love [name]Amaya[/name], [name]Josefina[/name], [name]Elena[/name], [name]Agustin[/name]/[name]Agosto[/name]/etc. but as I have no Hispanic blood at all it would seem a bit weird to use it. I do have an itty bit of French in me, though, so I think I could get away with that more.
I love a lot of French names, tooā[name]Isabelle[/name], [name]Arianne[/name], [name]Odette[/name], [name]Liliane[/name], [name]Aurelie[/name], [name]Aurore[/name], [name]Clementine[/name] (not necessarily French, but it is usable in French), [name]Anne[/name]-[name]Sophie[/name], [name]Fleur[/name], etc. I donāt love as many boysā names, but the popular boysā names in [name]France[/name] donāt really seem to be all that French ([name]Leo[/name], [name]Thomas[/name], [name]Lucas[/name], [name]Noah[/name], [name]Nathan[/name], [name]Raphael[/name], etc.). I do quite like [name]Auguste[/name] (almost as much as I love [name]August[/name]!), [name]Caspar[/name], [name]Pierrot[/name] (I think this is adorable! I much prefer this to the Italian [name]Piero[/name], too), [name]Benoit[/name], etc., too.
My best friend was French, she passed away tragically last [name]December[/name], so I love the idea of using French names to honor her.
I [name]LOVE[/name] Polish names, but Iām not sure I really love the Polish language, haha. I donāt really know much about it. I wrote a short story about WWII Poland last year, so I learned a few words to incorporate into the story, and that was fun. I love languages, though, so whatever language Iām interested in at the moment is probably my favorite.
I donāt know that much about [name]German[/name], but I have a lot of [name]German[/name] history and I think itās a fascinating language. I like a few of their names, too, like Hannelotte, [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Emmeline[/name], [name]Johanna[/name], etc.
Irish, French, and Italian for me. I love the Welsh language too.
I speak English fluently and Welsh proficiently (welsh speakers are few and far between in the capitol).
I fully intend to give all my children Welsh names,either first or middle.
I really like Latin names and Gaelic too. Thereās a few French and Italian names I like.
