I live in the US, was born in the US, but both my parents are from Hungary. I have a very Hungarian name, my dad's name is
Balazs. Three years ago, I had a son and named him
Benedek. We are pregnant again (due in
September) and are seriously considering a sibling name that is Hungarian as well.
My Magyar favorite names are:
Girls:
Julianna (
My aunt's name)
KatalinMargit (
My mother's name)
AmaliaEmeseZita
Boys:
Benedek ("
Ben")
Sandor (my grandfather's name)
KalmanKristofKarchi (nickname not on the board but used by Hungarian friends, it's a nm for
Charles)
