[Opinions] Re: Hungarian names (ETA a couple more)
I love Hungarian names. I love Eastern European names in general. But Hungarian names have that special, spicy quality to them that I find irresistable.Imre -- Love it. I have a thing for "i" names.Ferenc -- I love Francis, but this one always makes me stop to pronounce it correctly. I find it slightly annoying, but that's my limitation. I'd be extremely pleased to meet a little Ferenc one day.Mathias -- Always handsome and dashing, in almost any variant. This one is no exception.Miklos -- Very handsome.Erno -- This one loses me.Lajos -- Nice.Lazslo -- Love it. It makes me think of Victor Lazslo and "Casablanca." :-)Istvan -- Love Stephen. Love Istvan. Another "i" name for me. Yay, team "i."Gabor -- Too ZsaZsa for me.Sandor -- Love it. Very handsome.The male names feel so muscular to me. Erzsebet -- Delightful.Agnes -- I would have thought the Hungarian form was different than this, not that I have anything particular in my head. I've always loved Agnes.Sofia -- Nice, if somewhat tired right now.Klara -- Sorry, Hungary. I prefer the Clara spelling. Lovely name.Valeria -- Now there's a name with flair. Love it.Judit -- Kick in the pants. Love it.Monika -- Prefer the Monica spelling. But either way this name doesn't get enough attention.Katalin -- Nice.Margaret -- Really? They don't have a goulashier spelling? Ah well. Margaret is enduring and lovely no matter what variant.Zsuzsanna -- Zing!

ROLF at "goulashier spelling"! I have to use that one. "Paprikashier" is also a possibility. They do have Margaréta, but it's not very adventurous.
