Quoting MarioninTurkey:

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

Keti (Katie)
Danyel (Daniel)



Are you sure about "Keti"?
I have never heard it.

And I think the other should be "Danyal" with "a".

Maybe you have never heard about this:

If the first wife doesn't let, there can't be the second one!

Sure, this is not the Turkey Republic's rule. Turkey is not an Islamic republic. The laws are far from religion.

So do you watch from the tree tops? If I remember there is a good vantage point up the hill, and you can see some of the stadium! lol



If you saw the "Beleş Tepe" on İnönü Stadium, which is of Beşiktaş, you would understand me better lol

Beleş Tepe: Free Hill lol



I was there a couple of years ago, so I have some recollection of the hill! Having walked up and down it a few times lol



So I failed! lol
As I don't live in Istanbul, I don't go to Beleş Tepelol

I guess so! it must be some expensive respect to the Turkish standarts. But maybe you are rich! So you may find it cheaper

Maybe 80-100 dollars?
