I think they're all very...ethnically specific?, though I don't know what they all are. So, while I rather like the look of Emine, Emre and Döne, I know I wouldn't be able to pronounce them and I don't think I could use them.

This - a lot of them look nice, but I'm sure would be a very strange fit on anyone in my family lol. Are these Turkish names? I recognize Zeynep. I also knew an Israeli girl named Omer.
And woah to the Sadettin, Sadet Seda and Selda. No, no no!
I like Emine, Emre, Fidan, Ayse, Selda, Fadime (looks and sounds pretty!) Zahide, Zekiye. I like Z names, I wish there were more English/American Z names I liked

My brother's name is Omer.

Where is your family from? Interesting names! I feel like I would butcher their pronunciations somehow. :X

Nevermind, just saw your Turkish newspaper post further down.

That's a huge problem as many Germans have problems to pronounce turkish names.

I've always thought Ayse was pretty, and I like Aylin too. It's nice to hear names from different backgrounds.

I'm not sure if I'd use it, but I like Aylin.
