I’m iffy about the accuracy of this list (it seems to conflate “Romani” with “Romanian” when those are two different ethnic groups, and I’ve never heard of a man named [name_f]Gabriela[/name_f], for instance). But it is certainly an interesting selection of names. Lacramioara is stunning.

I think you’re right, @choupette. Here’s an article that educated me: Why you should know the difference between Romanians and Romani | Migreat Blog

Here’s some of the names on from this article that I was drawn to:
Georgeta & Gheorge - love a George variant!
Zabrina
Caturix
Corneliu
Haralamb
Ivantie
Laurentiu
Mihas
Ileana
Wodeleah
Daciana
Ilinca
Tyne

Thanks for sharing, @Lula-Rose :heart_eyes:

Possibly, I know the last section is worded like this and also mentions Roman at one point. However under that section are names from other countries of origin so it may just be an error with the terms. It makes sense that there would be some Romanian names as Romania has one of the most significant populations in the the Romani diaspora. Certainly an interesting list nonetheless :blush:

Wodeleah. Fabulous :blush:

Another great list - accuracy not guaranteed as names are user submitted but some interesting choices. Amberline, Eldorai and Ostelinda :heart:
