Re: Romani names
in reply to a message by Siân
Wow, I wasn't expecting any response to this! Thank you so much for all this info--lots to think about. Offhand, I like Tsura, Balliol, Kizzy (this would be awesome on a boy), and Pesha quite a bit.

You can probably find more online about it.
I know almost nothing about surnames and to my knowledge they don't have middle name practices.
I don't know any Rom with middle names (though some of the settled American Rom are beginning to use them, Alex says.)
If you have anymore questions, I could always ask for you.
Glad you found some things interesting.
Also if you want, here are some posts I've made about Romani names in the past.

Hope you find more than you love.
I have a long list of Romany names that I've collected somewhere. I'll be happy to send it to you if I find it.
