I like Fatih



Fatih has unfortunate connotations in English!



Yes you couldnt call a baby fatih in the uk
I remember the first time I heard the name ufuk I thought they were having a laugh lol


But "Fatih" has a nice connotation in Turkey because of the Fatih Sultan Mehmet*. We use "Fatih" because of his name generally. Fatih is an Arabic word its Turkish meaning is açan. He opened Istanbul's gate for Ottoman Empire. I think so. Fatih is a good name in Turkey you can easly use it

Yes - but unfortunately 'Fatıh' just sounds like 'Fatty' to us - would be an unfortunate name to saddle a Turkish child in England with.

Tamam Türk arkadaşlarız - your turn now! There must be many foreign names that sound very silly to you - let's hear some of them!

For example: Don
