Currently a mix of Spanish, Latin and [name_m]German[/name_m]. It used to be 90% Latin or Ancient Greek though, interesting how much my style has changed haha
I really have a soft spot for [name_u]French[/name_u] names honestly, but the rest of my list consists mostly of [name_f]English[/name_f], [name_m]German[/name_m], and [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names. A couple Italian maybe, and some that also work in Spanish. [name_f]My[/name_f] ethnicity is mostly plain white bread though, so that’s why I don’t really go for Spanish, [name_f]Asian[/name_f], Hebrew, Polynesian, etc. kind of names - it would be weird or appropriative for me to use those names generally.
Finnish isn’t a Scandinavian language But many of my favourite names are either Finnish or Scandinavian, as well as Germanic & generally Eastern European!
The majority of my names are Greek, but I do have plenty of Latin and [name_u]Irish[/name_u] names as well. I enjoy Finnish, Icelandic and Sanskrit names in addition to invented names.
Mine used to be mostly [name_u]French[/name_u] (90%) with some Italian/Latin influences.
It is now mostly [name_m]German[/name_m] but also some Italian and Eastern European names that are simple to wear like [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] or [name_f]Viorica[/name_f], with occasional [name_u]French[/name_u] and [name_f]British[/name_f] [name_f]English[/name_f] influences.
I saw the names of your bio. I am not familiar with many of them. Which culture do they come from? I agree mostly with the Multicultural European part and I have Spanish names I enjoy!
I’ve only written about the names where I don’t think the language origin is obvious—let me know if there are any others that are unfamiliar!
Kęsmina is a Lithuanian name meaning approximately “endure, then celebrate.”
Alale is a Persian / Farsi name meaning “buttercup.”
Nakhshun is an Armenian name meaning “beautifully patterned” or “beautifully decorated.” (I’ve found a lot of different meanings for this name, so this is an approximation of all of them.)
Adding [name_u]Hadi[/name_u] because I’m not sure how well known this name is—it’s an Arabic name meaning “leader.”
Revaz is a Georgian name meaning “wealthy” or “abundant.” It is also theorized to come from the Persian word for “day” and it’s the name for a type of rhubarb in several languages!
Shahrazad comes from Farsi (Persian) language and is the original name of [name_f]Scheherazade[/name_f].
Kejê is a Kurdish name I saw on nameberry from @dejectedpiglet !
(I get my name meanings from Behind the Name, then I use Wiktionary to try to translate sources in the original language that talk about the meaning of the name, and identify root words etc. So some of these meanings are imperfect translations, especially for names like Nakhshun which are uncommon even in their language, but I have a lot of fun trying to figure them out!)
Most of my favorites are Spanish (specifically Latino), Arawak Taíno, Yoruba, Togo, Arabic, Persian, Catalan and Basque, I also like Latin names but the formers are the majority. I also really love Chinese names but they’re a bit harder for me to find reliable sources for
But many of my favourite names are either Finnish or Scandinavian, as well as Germanic & generally Eastern European!
