HelpRe: L birth announcements

Interesting batch! Fascinating to see Tugela. It's a river in South Africa, which first appeared as a girl's name here in 1900 as homage to a battle there in the Boer War. I'm thinking that maybe this little girl is a descendant of one of those Tugelas.
Levent is really interesting too, especially on the child of a Hungarian couple - and google turned up quite a few Hungarian Levents, so now I'm curious as to whether it has another meaning/etymology, or has just got into the Hungarian name-pool somehow.
Yay for Nenad! I love the meaning. Haven't seen Gego before, is it short for something?

Interesting to know that about Tugela, I'd never seen it before and I just assumed it was honoring.
My Hungarian dictionary (yes, I have one of those) lists Levente as an ancient Hungarian name meaning 'being' (I've also seen 'peaceful' on some websites). Levent is probably a form of that or maybe a misspelling in the BA. Who knows if/how it's related to the Turkish name. It's been user-submitted: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/view.php?name=levente

I've never seen Gego as a full name either, I've only seen it as a nickname and not related to the name or last name of the person.
