Here is the link for names,olds and news and its including meanings of the names , ofcourse its turkish

While many names mentioned above are popular, some of them are too traditional. I think a modern name has to have a modern influence.
Many names in Turkish carry an image. If you say the name without referring to a certain person, in other words, even if you talk about Turkish names just as nouns, some people will have an image in mind of that word. If this image is more likely to be a traditional image than it is not modern.
I think likes and dislikes of the families determine the image of names. Some names are more common in certain social environments while some are not. There are such names in Turkish that are less likely to be heard in traditional families. Therefore a traditional social environment might influence the parents for a traditional name. It is less likley that parent will decide on a name that they haven't heard much in their social environment.

Actually for male names it is different than female names. There are much more sophisticated, modern and inspiring female names than there are male names in Turkish. Maybe it is because some names are considered to be too soft for males and therefore there was less creativity on this subject.

Of course I'm just talking about the mental picture that words carry. I'm not talking about real life. Real life doesnt match always with our images.
I have once come accross to a few surrealists who were talking about the images that Turkish names carry. I'm not sure if I can be as good as these guys but I could describe the picture of a name or two that you have choosen if you write that name.
Anyway here is my list:

Mert
Berk
Berke
Emre
Burak
Mete
Ogün
Tolga
Arda
Tuna
Tunç
Teoman

why modern names? I find the current names facinating.
Ahmet, Abdul etc - lovely - keep the wonderful tradition that facinates me (from South Africa)
