Ever been to HungaryI wouldn't mind a little Aetla myself.
its a fairly popular name among the hungarian population. in slovakia we have a good olympic sportsman whos from the south and his name is attila szabo
very popular...in romania we have a hungarian deputy with this name....
in romania, a couple thought that the name "osama bin lade" would bring only happiness to the future of their new child. The laws were tougher, though!

One possible idea is that you can choose the name of a former ruler. Thus, the child receives some of its ancestor's abilities. This concept can be traced back to ancient Egypt. When a child was given a name after their ancestor (like Louis XIV of France and George V of England) it was said that he/she would hold some of that person's qualities.
wow! that is mystical stuff indeed! So, if I had a very good ruler once, I could cheat my way with a simple process of name renaming!
bah
bah
Totally mistical
Louis XVI was son of Louis, that was son of Louis XV that was son of Louis that was son of Louis the Great Dauphin that was son of Louis XIV and clearly didn't receive his ancestor abilities.
Nor Felipe III of Felipe II in Spain.

Nope you are mistaken Russia is a place where you can name your child whatever comes to your mind
As well as you can change your last name any time for everything you can imagine
I read there was a wave of bizarre christenings in early Bolshevik Russia - names like 'Vinaigrette' and 'Lentrostal'.
I'm not sure (to put it mildly) you should get bonoi for historical eponyms. Otherwise we might now be living under King Hengest XLIV.

On a related note, in Britain the government apparently keeps records of names (though I don't think you have to choose off of a list). A couple years ago - despite the fact thjat naming after members of the royal family is (you would think) popular, it wasn't until after three books had been published with this name on the main character and title that "Harry" turned up in the top ten for a year, for the very first time....

Quick and to the point question. Can you name your children or can you at least choose between a selection of names. And if not how are they chosen. If randomly what if you get like 5 Ferdinand's in a row!
It's not a problem : all members of the Reuss' family had Henri as name ... Happily that one numbers them ...
The lords of Saint-Omer are called all William.
I have a lot others examples.
Re: Re: Can you name your children?
LOL
The Reuss family is ridiculous - every male in the family is named Heinrich. Just try listing the rulers of the Reuss principalities - they assigned numbers seemingly at random per each generation, so that (in the case of the princes of Reuss-Köstritz), the succession goes: Heinrich XLIV, Heinrich XXXVIII, Heinrich XLVII, Heinrich LXIII, and Heinrich LII...

not really in random. Some agreements were decided in 1668, 1693, 1695 and 1901 ... ok they have not been respected
But the origin (XII° S) is serious.

Speaking of names, I always thought this line from the HOI manual rather odd.
Battleships: These units should be named first with historical names as long as possible, then with the names of ships planned or in construction, with plausible but invented names.
How sanctimonious!
(though that is good)
