As I am sure everyone knows, the Olympics are getting started today!!! I think we should enjoy this [name]Berry[/name] style and keep our eyes open for the great international names of the 10,000 or so athletes about to compete! [name]Share[/name] your favorites, your new finds, the bold, the beautiful and the shockers! Try to list the athletes country of origin as well! Let’s find the name inspiration from these inspiring athletes!!!
My first find from the preshow - Roseline ([name]Canada[/name])
Thanks for posting. I tried starting an Olympic thread but it wasn’t popular. Hopefully this one will be successful! I will be watching for names as well.
[name]Hope[/name] this becomes a popular post. I hope everyone is enjoying the opening ceremony as much as I am! Currently looking out for some new names!
Here are a few girls names I’ve picked up whilst watching the Women’s Swimming today. I won’t put what country they’re representing on every name because I didn’t have a enough time to look whilst jotting down the names.
Girls
Aliaksandra (New spelling for me)
Katerine
[name]Ilaria[/name] ([name]Sweden[/name])
Daynara ([name]Brazil[/name])
Wow! Have just woke up after my late night of watching that amazing opening ceremony!!! I was listening to the flag bearers names but unfortunately I couldn’t actually hear it am going to try and find a list of them on google.
I’m a huge tennis fan so I know that the Polish flagbearer, a tennis player, is named Agnieszka. Pronounced ag-nee-esh-ka. There’s also players named Kvetoslava (who always goes by Kveta). [name]Roger[/name] Federer’s wife is [name]Mirka[/name] (meer-ka), short for Miroslava. @caramichelle I love [name]Marija[/name] and just about every other regional variant of [name]Mary[/name]/[name]Maria[/name]!
There was a canadian diver called [name]Emilie[/name] yesterday and I [name]LOVE[/name] that spelling. Also on [name]Marija[/name]-I know someone called [name]Marika[/name] so its basically the same.
