is it very uncommon to take your fathers name in turkey? I know that in alot of countries the first born son is often named after his father (wich is what I was wanting to do because I love his name) but I haven't known any turkish males named after their father.... is it ok? Uhgggg why are girls so much easier to name :-S

Yes, in Turkey, the names of the grandfathers are more common.
My uncle has a son, my cousin. his name is Mustafa Emin. Mustafa is the name of his father's father and Emin is his mother's father. So his name is his grandfathers' names.
This is very common. In some families, this is thought as the respect and/or the love to the fathers. One o my friend will have a son soon. He said that he and his father were a litle bad as relation, and he wants to correct this. For that reason, he decided to give his father's name to his son.

There are also some names here: http://www.geocities.com/~abdulwahid/muslimarticles/names_turkish.html
However I have noticed that these sites are very faulty and imcomplete. I can think of many regular turkish names which are not on there...
