    Sorry for being so ninny:p but I wrote the whole list in Italian and at the end - when checking - not even one name was there
    Can you explain me how to do?
    thanks a lot
    I think you have to download the newest list to your computer, add names, save changes and then upload it again. I think. ;)

    @ Cat,
    I think you haven't used the last Excel file to add Slovenian names, because there is no Serbian now in your list...


    Bilingual:Bulgarian - Turkish
    Why don't you put the gagauzian names into the turkish name's list.! Actually most of the names on this list are used as christian names and so that's not a pretty good idea to add the turkish names' column for this chart. but gagauzian names...

    I have added some equivalents in the Irish language.

    Some notes: As we have a culture which predates Judeo-Christian arrival to Ireland, and Irish/Celtic culture was not overrun by the Romans, we have hundreds of other, more commonly used Irish language names. I have not added these to the list as that is not the object of the original exercise.

    Some of these Irish names are versions of the international names [Charles/Searlas (pronounced Shar-les].
    Some of them are older Irish names which are often used as equivalents, even though they bear no relation [Charles / Cathal (pronounced Coh-hol].

    John is an interesting example. The Irish for John is Eoghan [pronounced Owen] but when the Normans came in 1166, some of them were called "Jean". As there is no "dj" sound in Irish, the local population called them "Séan" (pronounced "Shaun"). James/Séamus has a similar origin from later times when the English came to Ireland.
