i like the name Fatih (but for biased reason aswell lol) but cant seem to say it properly at times with my manchester accent lol.
found these two pages which are good for names:
http://www.turkishculture.org/pages.php?ChildID=209&ParentID=12&ID=56&ChildID1=209
i also like Ali, Emre (loving friend, older brother), Eren (saint). i know a lad named Ferah (joy, pleasure, cheerfulness) aswell, i think its a girls name but i like it for either.

Are you sure about "Keti"?
I have never heard it.
And I think the other should be "Danyal" with "a".

Hello,
The first female manager of a life insurance company in Turkey, who used to be a partner at Coopers & Lybrand is Keti Bonofiyel. Maybe she is from a minority? But the name seems to have caught on.
Danyel is quite popular amongst some of my Turkish friends, I know at least 3 young boys with this name.
I also thought of Canet or Janet for girls.
Often people have two names. In the UK we use the first one if we have two. In Turkey it is usual to use the second one. e.g. Mehmet Ali Şimşek would be called Ali. He may write his name M. Ali Şimşek. You could use two names, one more Turkish, one more OK for overseas, and then the kids can choose for themselves when they grow up. e.g. my friend called her daughter Kayra Grace (both mean grace!) and she is called Kayra in Turkey.
I would just caution against using names that sound funny in another language. e.g. Fatih is a WONDERFUL name if your child is going to live in Turkey all their life, but back in England they will be teased as "Fatty".

In fact, it sounds rude for me to change the names which has meanings
