>>60700968

Haven't been used in 50 years
>>60700968
>Pierre, Jacques
Pierre is old-fashioned, Jacques is definitively dead
Nowadays it's Lucas, Thibault, Maxime, Rémi...
>>60700968
Jacques doesn't exist anymore
Pierre,you can find some but it's quite uncommon and old-fashioned
François is pretty common
>>60700968
>>Germany: Hans, Helmut
Hans: Nobody
Helmut: Old people
Paco is redneck tier, Enrique is good, Pedro and Juan are meh. All are still used but they're not that common.
>>60701763
What about Jorge?
>>60701446
Hans, also old people.
Only...a bit older.
>Nigel
nobody/older people
>Ian
Some middle aged people I guess, but I've never heard anyone nowadays called Ian
>>60700968
>Norway: Sven
Have never seen or heard of a Norwegian with that name.
>>60700968
Only people with 50+ years have those names
Sven is a swedish name. Not many are named that nowadays, mostly older swedes.
Denmark = Preben
Norway = Håkon
>>60701446
Hans isn't that rare. I know more Hans than Helmuts
>>60702177
I don't know people so that explains it.
Paco is not even a name but the shortening of Francisco.
>>60700968
>Hans, Helmut
pre WW2 tier
some guys do have those names as a 2nd/3rd name, though... probably named after their [grand]father
>Pajeet
Literally nobody.
I'm naming my son Edmund
>>60700968
>Italy: Mario, Luigi
A lot of second generation Italians in other countries
>>60702458
It sounds nice desu
>>60701020
Pasquale is very common

>>60701446
What about Ludwig?
>>60702691
Is that you Shinji?
Hans is nearly extinct because the name got meme'd too hard.
>>60702109
I know many young Luigi
Is Ian only a British name? Now that I think of it, I've never heard of a burger with that namd
t. Ian
>>60700968
>Paco
Paco is not really a name, it's a derivative name that comes from Francisco, it's a funny and affectionate way to call someone who's name is Francismo.
So yes, all Pacos you've ever heard about are actually named Francisco, like the Pope.
The names in Spain differ a lot by the region.
Never met a Nigel and never met anyone under 55 called Ian
>>60702960
Literally the only relevant Brit is named Nigel.
>>60702990
why is every girl in Germany called Lena you unimaginative cunts
I know a guy in India and asked him if he knew any Pajeets. He actually laughed and explained that it isn't even a real name. So there you have it, 4chan made it up because it sounds indian
>>60702990
Thornberry ?
Juan Pablo is pretty common.
Met a few Enriques, but I think Jose beats all the others.
Bunch of new babies are called Francisco (Paco)
I am now sitting aside with Ivan.
>>60703044
Leftists refuse to use good German names.
>>60703044
Lizzy
>>60703078
How many Igor's?
>>60703099
only the upper and middle class use Elizabeth, working class people hate that name
>>60702990
Can only assume you mean Farage. He's barely relevant in England never mind everywhere else
>>60701412

dam shame
>>60703215
>the single most important man leading you out of the EU

>>60702691
>US: Mike, Bob
These are common for 40-70 y/o men. Otherwise they aren't used.
>>60703153
Not so many, but I had a classmate named igor
>>60703276
Farage isn't even the leader of Leave. Not like we're voting out anyway
>>60700968
Where's Scotland you fucking cunt
>>60700968
>Paco
That's a shortener of Francisco.
>>60703276
That would be Boris
>>60703334
>Not like we're voting out anyway
you better don't disappoint
>>60702827
Literally every Luigi I know has more than 50 years, and I don't know a single Mario, but probably it depends from the region. When I went to university I know a lot of Giuseppe, Antonio and Michele from the south, and in all my youth I never met someone of my age with those names
James is a more stereotypical British name, there were about 20 of them in my school
>>60701215
Wouldn't Ahmed and Muhammad be more common these days?
>>60700968
Ivan is more common in Bulgaria than in Russia
>seamus
never met any personally, dont think it would be too hard to find however
>patrick
knew a couple, was one of the names my mam wanted to give me
michael and shaun are very common however
>>60703660
what about sean :^)
>>60703716
just a different spelling of shaun i guess
its never sean tho always séan
if we use the irish spelling we never leave fadas out.
t. has two siblings with irish spelling.
>>60701215
>Lucas, Thibault, Maxime, Rémi...
Those are fine
Now Enzo and Adam those are fucking terrible and they're the most popular, awful tb h
>>60703910
What is your opinion on Gabriel (in France)?
>>60701412
>>60701215
I knew a Jacques in high school tho
Rich Spanish-origin manlet, pretty funny guy tb h
i would say Oliver, charlie, Harry are more common
>>60703409
James is a pretty good name in my opinion. Unfortunately, here it means you get nicknamed "Jay," which is shit.
>>60704127
>jay
that's gay as fuck
>>60704048
It's fine. Like the archangel Gabriel that's cool.
I never knew any though
Also it sounds pretty upper class
>Takeshi
this is still common maybe. but sounds stupid as fuck
>>60702827
that's probably because you're a terrone
>>60704232
do you eat a lot of gabagool?
>>60700968
>Ridiculous names with a million Ws, Fs, Hs, and Ys

>>60704224
That is great, thanks. I was afraid that my name would be considered pleb-tier when I move there.
>>60700968
>Jacque
Jacques*
I don't know many Jacques, I've seen shit tons of Pierre tho
>>60702691
>Quatrovagina
Top kek
>Russia: Ivan, Dmitri
Yeah, indeed popular. Ivan was somewhat associated with simpleton tier persons, probably due to fairytales, but recently became popular along with other names considered non standard
t. Dmitry
>>60702769
Still in use in Bavaria
>>60702691
I knew a Josephine, complete bitch but hot
Joan is not a French name, it's the English translation of Jeanne
Blandest name possible, like Jean
(same roots as John and Juan btw, i have no idea why they'd translate it to Joan)
>>60702691
>Quatrovagina
>>60704500
Eternal Anglo autism
>>60704346
Why would you move here you crazy person ?
You have the American dream with qt suburban houses and nice normal people everywhere, now you want to move to the country that's on the brink of civil war ? Why
>>60700968
Try Mohammed, Lukas or Tobias
>>60703796
I know at least 4 Seans. Without an accent or being spelled wrong.
>>60700968
>Turkey: Mehmet
My best friends name is Mehmet, i have 4 known relatives named Mehmet. I know 5 people that named Mehmet in my faculty and list goes on and on.
so yeah pretty common
>>60704597
Life is about the adventure. We only get about eighty years on this planet, and that means we can never settle for a boring life. My time where I live has reached a state of mediocrity, which means it is time to move on. I would rather be slightly poorer if it means I can experience new things.
>>60704788
Shut up, Gabe
>>60700968
>Britain: Nigel, Ian
My dads name is Ian but I do not know a single Nigel.
>>60700968
>Sweden, Norway, Denmark: Sven
Only 6 newborns were given the name Sven in 2015, and 4,073 had it as a part of their forename. I personally know no one with the name. Svein is over 6 times more common with 25,042.
The top five most common boy names here are Jan (48,981), Per (38,395), Bjǿrn (38,142), Ole (31,540) and Lars (30,164).
>>60704788
With that reasoning people end up going to Syria, i'd take a mediocre boring life in America any day over living here in the fucking eye of the storm
Ah well i won't stop you, have fun, but if you have trouble, i told you so
>>60702066
>never seen or heard of a Norwegian with that name
>no mention of Travis

>>60705354

Sven is a Swedish name, not really that common in Denmark or Norway.
It's relatively common, but often used as a middle name.
>>60701763
I'd add Manuel/Manolo
>>60705189
>Sven
>Nordin

>>60702066
Then what names are common over there?
>>60700968
Paddy is very common but I've only met a few people named Seamus. Not fashionable.
there're so many Mohamhed and Hussan and Samir and Mussa and Fatima and the list goes on.

Most popular names in the Basque Country for females born between 2012-1014.
Last year the most popular names were:
Men: Aron, Alexander and Viktor
Women: Margrét, Anna and Emma
Makes me sad that the more traditional Icelandic names are falling behind, but at least the new ones aren't completely bogus.
>>60700968
>Seamus, Patrick
Seamus no, it appears from time to to time but not common at all.
James is more popular(Seamus is the Irish version of James).
Patrick is common as fuck, there is at least one in every family and even then there may be more or some members will have it as a middle name.
My father is Patrick, my middle name is Patrick, my uncle on my mother side is Patrick, I have a cousin called Patrick and another cousin who's name is the Irish version of Patrick.
Thats all first names except mine, God only knows how far it goes with middle names and confirmation names.
>>60706558
Most popular names in the Basque Country for males born between 2012-1014.
Alexandr, Vladimir, Ilya
>>60706576

Did you have slavic invasion to Iceland? I know many Russian immigrants named Viktor
>>60706185

>>60706360
>Wolfgang
>Wilhelm
Proper names!
>>60706601
Oh I forgot to mention, my mother is Patrcia which is the female version of Patrick. Both my parents were named after the saint.
>>60703441
There is no arab name amongst the most-given names in France.
>>60706227
people here say Aaron and Erin slightly differently
My grandpa was named Svend, but I don't know anyone else with that name. It's cool af imo though
Luca, Alessandro or Lorenzo are more popular than Mario (just one in my life) or Luigi (two in my life, whilst one being terrone)
We have pretty much every single first name in Europe. Slovenians bear most of the names found in this thread, from Sven to Igor.
>>60703293
What's the deal with nicknames in US? I've always thought that people have Robert or William in the birth certificate and everyone calls them Bob or Bill/Will. Am I totally lost here?

>>60707332
Nothing wrong with William
>>60706163
>Andrea
One Italian guy from work is named Andrea and everyone here have a problem with inflecting his name (like we do with the Polish names) since here almost all names ending with "a" are female names and they are inflected differently.
>>60707332
I am William

The ultimate pleb-tier names are the ones you find in shitty US series like Baywatch or Beverley Hills: Kevin, Brandon, Steven, Jennifer, Jessica, Shannon and other shit like that.
a.k.a. parents who stood way too much time in front of the television when they were young instead of practicing sport, going outside, having normal cultural activities with their parents, or doing their homework.
Well, nowaday it's more about "Italian sounding" names ending in o and a, like Hugo, Téo, Léa...

Every time I see this name, the horrible song named Gabrielle plays in my mind and I want to die

The only song called Gabrielle that I know is this one tbf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7L8iI0Jfw0
My dad's name is Luigi.
>>60711346
Yeah it's neither common nor uncommon people wouldn't be surprised at all by this name
And I knew a Gabrielle girl who was born from an English father and a French mother she is hot as fuck

Does Gabriel have any connection with femininity in France? It does to some degree here in the US.
Also, is Richard a traditional French name?
>>60700968
My dad's called Ian, but i think it's dying out, sort of an old name now tbqh.
Only know a few Nigels desu, ones an old man who owns the local papershop (used to do paperrounds for him) and the other in my uncle. Nice name though i think.

>>60711849
All right, thank you. Also, I heard that one can change any part of their name to a more French-sounding name when they attain citizenship. Do you know anything about this?
>>60711578
Gabriel is male and Gabrielle is female, no connection at all for us. It is like Michel/Michelle, Raphael/Raphaelle, Claude/Claude, Paul/Paule (even though, male form is more common for those ones), Dominique/Dominique (tricky one :D), Frédéric/Frédérique (the only female named Frédérique I know is my aunt)
I would say Richard is English, but I know some. It's quite rare but not disturbing

>>60711967
yes you can
>>60712096
Thanks. Does this include the middle name(s) and the first and last name?
>>60712202
We don't consider the middle name like americans. We have a first name, a last name, maybe a second and third name, but those are rarely asked for
>>60703441
I could ask you the same.
>>60712314
Is the 'middle name' considered a second first name?
>>60712395
It is yes
But, as noone will ask you, you could almost change them yourself
>>60712520
I see. Do you think it would still be available to change though?
>>60712564
Since you can change both first and last names, you can certainly change your second one too
>>60712395
No it's really not important
The only time i ever hear it is with friends like at the airport or when you need your passport like "lmao your 2nd name is [embarassing name] hahaha"
NEVER had anyone ask for it otherwise
I don't even bother writing it in forms anymore desu
>>60712600
All right, thank you.
Despite it not being needed necessarily, I have reasons for wanting to change my middle and last name.
>>60712089
if your grand parents are not named George & Victoria and Edward and Elizabeth, you're pretty much not English

Do not worry, I am not a criminal or wanted for anything. I am a law-abiding fellow :)
>>60712874
But what is this unwanted middle name actually ?
>>60712940
It is mostly the last name to be honest, but the middle name as well.
>>60712973
tell me this name my friend
>>60712973
I can't imagine any American name being that bad
Are you embarassed because it's like a black or asian name ? You know, people will notice you aren't white anyways

There is nothing bad about it. My middle and last names are just very foreign (still white though) and I want to integrate as fully as possible. Also, I do not want any potential children I have to stick out with it.
>>60713151
How foreign ? If you're called Goldstein it can be a good thing you know

No, a long German name :(
And my middle name is also not bad, but just not French.
My first name is Gabriel though, which I do not have a problem with because it seems to be a traditional French name.

Yep, no problem with Gabi

Nobody cares about German names, it can pass off as an Alsacian one.

I guess it's an American thing to do. Here almost noone change their name, but suits yourself.

Don't do it. I have a long Italian last name and I love it. It provides a little bit of individuality while still considering myself fully American. Heck I was even in contact with the people in Italy with my last name and it was interesting to connect that we were family.
Unless your last name is jewburnerhitlerkaizer I doubt anyone would treat your future kids differently.
