Quoting turkiyemylove: caliptrix: Thank You very much for answering my last question and I have one more 
Quoting caliptrix:
Duran is neither a popular nor a good name (i think). |
Why do you think like that? Is there any meaning of that name?
as I said I know someone with that name and that's why I'm very curious
|
Rica ederim, you are welcome.
Duran, as you wrote, means something like "calm". But just, it is not common; and sounds like other the meaningless names:
satılmış: sold
döndü: turned back
duran: stopping << another meaning.
if your friend is ok with his name, there is no problem. just looks like some funny and meaningless with the others.

I meet mostly people which names are either Murat, Mehmet, Serkan or Mustafa. Also come across some Volkans As to rare...Mahir, Can, Onder and perhaps Ãœmit.
But i find female names far more beautiful and various

They are of Arabic origin and such names are less and less preferred nowadays. We prefer the names of Turkic origin more and more in the new generations.

Sorry but who are you?
"you" shouldn't be the all Turks, because we still prefer all Arabic names...

I think he didn't say that we don't use Arabic origin names. He said that they are becoming less popular with time. If we were using 70% Arabic origin names for males 20 years ago, nowadays we are using maybe 50% so they are becoming less popular and more modern names are becoming more popular.
Erdinç is my real name but it is not my only name. I have two forenames and Erdinç is the second one. I don't use the first one because it is Arabic origin.
