Maybe you like the sounding of the names below... however, many of them dont make you think of a country I guess. This makes them rather sound like phantasy names. I think its better when names do remind a bit of the stereotypes that the countries are associated with. Like scandinavian names make us think of vikings, german names remind a bit of discipline and strenght etc... so I dont really insist that these names here should be used... they should only if they sound a bit "warrior"-like...

Btw, most of these names are turkish, some even old turkish from the ninth and tenth centuries, for exapmle Alpagu and Kutadgu. But there are also a few kurdish and armenian names, like Baran, Berfin and Rupen. Defne is the turkish of Daphne, the daughter of goddess Demeter from the Greek Pantheon. And we have also plenty of Persian and Arab names, like Leyla, Hülya and Fiyal. Finally Levent is actually from the Italian Levant, often used in Venedik to name foreign staff members on their ships.
