This question is similar to my previous discussion, but this is actually a way to know more about our different cultures and languages: Let's share our favorite names from different countries replying this:
What name would you like to have if you were from:
- Spain (or any other spanish language country)
- Germany
- France
- USA/UK/AU (or any other english language country)
- Russia
- Japan
- Turkey
- Egypt (or any other arabic language country)
- Italy
- Other country you like
Note to those who might take things too seriously: Just share the names you like from any of these countries/languages... no need to consider to change your name and nationality for real! :P XD
My choices:
Spain - Julia or Alba
Germany - Jenell or Ingrid
France - Ivette or Jolie
USA/UK/AU or any other english language country - Mary -- i'm already used to it :P
Russia - Masha :P
Japan - Hiyori or Setsuko
Turkey - Sanem
Egypt (or any other arabic language country) - Alima or Zaira
Italy - Giulia or Mariella :P
-Other country: Any Swahili language country - Aiysha or Nalah
Note: I've picked most of these names just because I like how they sound to my 'spanish ear'; and few others also because of its meaning.

Hi Mary
I Like these names:
Spain: Sofia
German: Monika
French: Rosette
English: Alice
Russian: Masha
Japonese: Aina
Turkish: Solmaz
Arabic: Zahra
Persian: Sima
Oh, I like the name of Alice too :)
Nice ones. Thanks for sharing!
Hi there...
As for the Arabic names:
I have always liked (Sara and Jawahra) for females, (Jassem and Ibrahim) for males..
I'm not really familiar with Non.Arabic names, but there is this one name that always comes to my mind, not sure why (Jack)
I like Sara too. It's also a very common name in Spain.
About the name of 'Jawahra', do you pronounce the 'h' letter? if you do, I couldn't pronounce that name without choking :/
Oi there, folks
As it was not stated whether the names should be female or male, I will take my whimsy liberty and choose a female and a male name for each country:
So; here we go -
Spain - Ines, Juan
Germany - Ingrid, Helmut
France - Ivone, Louis
England - Patricia, Arthur
Russia - Tamara, Igor
Poland - Tadeusz, Bożena [the "ż" is prounced like "J" in the french word "jardin" ]
Japan - Aiko. Katsuo
Turkey - Caria, Emre
Arabic countries - Fareeda, Ibrahim
Italy - Francesca, Giovani
Hey Rys! It's super cool that you picked one of both genders! :)))
Btw, about the Poland names, Tadeusz is the male name and Bozena the female, right? Otherwise, Tadeusz for woman sounds weird to me :/
i dont really know others country name... i need to google it first.. well it will takes time which is currently i am on drama watching mode... so its have to wait.. hehehe
for English or Russian or maybe German .. i like EZRA
for Japanese - MIKA
Uhm nice... 'drama mode' is my thing too XD
Spain: Darío, Enrique, Fernando, Leo
German: Cornelius, Edgar
French: Fabien, Matthew
English: Tom
Russian: Mikhail
Italy: Angelo, Cassano
There are some Japanese names that are similar to your name Mary such as Mari and Mariko. By the way, is Setsuko from the Japanese anime movie "Grave of the Fireflies"?
Uhm yeah, Leo fits you as spanish name. It's as short and 'easy' as Tam :)
But from all these names, the best for you is Tom... obviously :D
Oh, that japanese anime is very nice, but no... it's because of the japanese actress Setsuko Hara :) I've always been a movie lover, and when I was younger i loved to watch super old movies (still I like, but I don't do it so often now) My favorite old japanese movies where the ones made by the film director Yasujirō Ozu (yeah, I know movie lovers usually go crazy with Akira Kurosawa movies. I like his movies too, but still I prefer Ozu) Anyway... Setsuko Hara was in many Ozu's movies that I like. She was a great actress and that's why I picked that name... See how movie-nerdy I am! :D
