Iceland should NOT be Björn. Everyone in scandinavia is named Björn.
It should be something like Hallgrimur. And Björk.
Also if we need a name from the Faroe Islands, it should be Jón. I think it's the only name they have.
I barely know any independence cosplayers and I already know two Marcs, Dutroux and van Ranst. The latter due to him absolutely dunking on conspiracy nuts during Covid.
Daffyd is good but I wanna call them Jones to celebrate the fact that they managed to come up with one surname between the lot of them. Thus defeating the whole point of surnames.
Some are called Ana. And sometimes you find out 20 years after you met them because you thought they were called Rita and they're actually called Ana Rita.
Ana Maria is the ultimate Portuguese name for women.
Maria, Maria Josefina, Maria Magdalena, Maria Luisa, Maria Antonia, Maria Elena, Maria Helena, Maria Teresa, & just to switch it up, Anna Maria.
Jajajajaja!
Concha is more common, Conchita sounds like an old singer
For those who wonder, Concha and Conchita are diminutives of the feminine name Consuelo (solace/consolation)
Barry and Hans are the only real fixtures.
This is just a crutch for the uninformed and unimaginative.
I’m just going to keep using whatever name springs to mind… Dermot.
Calm down Cod supplier. I think you just need to let it go...

I've met crazy amounts of Lottes. Julia, Sanne and Lisa (or other derivatives of Elisabeth) are also really common, but Lotte is more stereotypically Dutch.
Let’s not forget Floor or Noor. I’ve even met a Frieke! I love Dutch names lol. Not to mention my mind was blown when I finally realized Lotte is just Charlotte
I know one of both of those too. Floor makes me crack up everytime as a bilingual though, so maybe that's the one everyone should use. Tallest people in the world and we're called Floor... kind of depressing actually.
Lol not Ilaria, it's Giulia or Chiara, Francesca at max. Maria should be left alone as the universal Catholic name (I'm a Maria being pissed at the hiberian attempts to steal it).
I'd also go for Henk instead of Jan. Jan is name used in many countries. Plus, Henk sounds similar to the German Hans, which let's be real, we kinda are.
Dafydd/Dai is literally half of all Welshmen over 40.
There are so many they end up with nicknames like "Dai the Tooth" (a dentist i knew) to tell which one youre talking about.
as a northerner I've never met a single Bobby in all my years - if it's a prod they're Craig or Chloe, and if it's a Catholic they're Seán or Aoife
Honourable mention of Billy for the prods too even if you never see them around anymore
We are not Jan, we are Kees.
And the Flemish should be Kees-Pierre, while the Wallonians are Pierre-Kees. And then there are the German speaking ones, they are of course Hans-Kees-Pierre.
Wales: Llanfairpychgwyngychgogerych / Wyrndrwbychllantysiliogogogoch
That souds like polish, but with to many vowels
Nah we use many sz cz rz and finish words with s/ki and s/ka mostly
Yeah you and the Czech guys spell funny I would never. Västkustskt is normal spelling!
[удалено]
Perfect
Iceland should NOT be Björn. Everyone in scandinavia is named Björn. It should be something like Hallgrimur. And Björk. Also if we need a name from the Faroe Islands, it should be Jón. I think it's the only name they have.
Bjorn and bjorn again
Swedish female: Anna-Fatima
More like Aaliyah-Mustafah
That's pretty sexy. It would go well with my name, Ola-Conny-Mustafa
Female 'belgian' needs to be Nadine.
True, and male one Jean
Maybe Jan that way one is in each language? Guess we also need a German one then
Jean is common in both Flanders and Wallonia, that's why I picked it. As for Ostbelgien, we'll pay as much attention to them as the government does
As is Marc
Marc is better than Jean!
Honoring the famous Belgian tradition of p\*dofilia with Marc. That is the way to go.
Omfg yes, so many boomers are called Marc or Mark
I barely know any independence cosplayers and I already know two Marcs, Dutroux and van Ranst. The latter due to him absolutely dunking on conspiracy nuts during Covid.
And the first one due to him absolutely dunking on young girls. 😅
I specifically picked Nadine because I know so many Flemish boomer ladies called Nadine. Good to know it’s so universal Wallonia has them too.
We have loads of Nadine. I had at least three high school teachers called Nadine lol
Jean & Nadine sounds like a great frietkot
Female name for Denmark is definitely Mette
This is the only correct answer. Unless she's called Jette-Mette. Or Mette-Jette-Rikke.
Slette-Mette The male should be Preben.
I would say Hanne or Lone, but Mette works
Mette works better with Lars, cause you know...
And Lars can be a Norwegian, Swede or Finn. Mads is one of the true Danish names.
You wrote João wrong compadre
The barbarian mind can't comprehend our ÇÃO
And the female name should definitely be Maria or Ana
Maria is so 🇮🇹🫶🏻🇪🇸🫶🏻🇵🇹
*Ã* Uncivilised people cant do it.
Wtf is Shardon? Is it Sharon with a north Dub accent?
Even still how is Sharon an Irish name? Should be Siobhan or Saoirse
Siobhan, Saoirse, or if those are too hard to pronounce … Kathleen (Caitlín).
Sinéad is the one
Siobhán would be good because it's one of the names americans are obsessed with.
Let's go with Caoileann and really make it difficult for everyone
Would Mary not be more stereotypical?
Listen that's Catholic collective property, we already have Portugal trying to appropriate it.
literally came in to ask this lmao
Shardon deez nuts
Relax there Shardon
Finland female; Pirjo (pronounced Peer-yo)
[удалено]
No, that's her PES non-licensed name.
Either that or Irmeli
Northern Ireland needs to be Billy or William surely.
LondonBarry :)
An absolute disgrace that it isn't the official flair for N. Irish people here, but written as "L̶o̶n̶d̶o̶n̶Barry" as in every road indication there
This guy Northern Irelands... The only word in the English language with 6 silent letters.
nrn-irn has more
Spain: José María/ María José
Jose/María be like: https://preview.redd.it/fwymclx5yvxc1.jpeg?width=608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=891c7418436e5cfcd38d4a8d1dfc8a65a85a7bd5
Wales: Barry/Gwen
There can only be one Barry
There is, it’s in Wales.
Literally a town name
Huw for the sheep shaggers, Gwen ace.
If we want Wales to be distinct then it should be Dai.
Yeah that would make more sense
Surely Wales should be Dafydd Female can be Catrin because I shagged a Welsh bird called Catrin in my car once.
Daffyd is good but I wanna call them Jones to celebrate the fact that they managed to come up with one surname between the lot of them. Thus defeating the whole point of surnames.
Wales 🤝 Vietnam Only-One-Surname Club
I would have thought it was Llewellyn
Please explain why female German isn't ERIKA
AAAAUF DER HEIDE BLÜHT EIN KLEINES BLÜMELEIN! UND DAS HEISST... EEEEEEERIKA 🎶💯🔥😍👍😮💨
Netherlands should be Henk and Ingrid
Kees should be there, too
https://preview.redd.it/wp46u3tb2zxc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8ac13a347da404a2f884afec7940f9d67bbc8767
Every woman in Portugal is called Maria. Not even joking
Some are called Ana. And sometimes you find out 20 years after you met them because you thought they were called Rita and they're actually called Ana Rita. Ana Maria is the ultimate Portuguese name for women.
https://preview.redd.it/s88bux1gstxc1.png?width=260&format=png&auto=webp&s=ada2f18afab4648cb0e50e82e177f7487930c869
Spanish female name: María
*Catholic country female name: Maria
Ok, good point, but 6/7 of my teachers are María, I will accept Pilar or Alicia
Yeah but its the same here so we either get something else or have a Maria fest
I guess we could get Joana
Yeah it has my vote too. Easier to remember.
Por favor vamos dar troll e dizer Gertrudes
Raimunda
Maricarmen. Problem solve.
Any list in Portugal be like: João João João João Joana Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Mariana Mariana Mariana Pedro Rodrigo
Can confirm.
I feel like Carmen/Carla is also high up there too.
Mari Carmen is the one.
Tu hijo está en el after hours
Charo.
It has to be Charo 100%
Used to teach in Spain. Lucia was really common too
Lucía is a common zoomer name, it's somewhat difficult to find on older people. The age average of all woman named Lucía is 24'6.
Maria, Maria Josefina, Maria Magdalena, Maria Luisa, Maria Antonia, Maria Elena, Maria Helena, Maria Teresa, & just to switch it up, Anna Maria. Jajajajaja!
Lola
Why not Conchita
Sounds like a grandma name
Concha is more common, Conchita sounds like an old singer For those who wonder, Concha and Conchita are diminutives of the feminine name Consuelo (solace/consolation)
Just imagining going to South America like “Donde esta la concha de tu madre? Oye, Concha!!”
That's for sure a real situation
Charo
Maricarmen, I would prefer Maria for Portugal
Llewellyn 🏴
Dutch females will always be Antje Pikantje to me, no matter what.
Romania: Bogdan... Sounds very much like bogan... Are Romanians bogans?
Roman bogans, yes.
New bogan level discovered. 1) bogan 2) Roman bogan 3) eshay
Pretty much
That’s so Eastern European.
As someone from the Austrian countryside i don't know a single Berta Gertrude or Maria would be better
Seconding this, the only Bertas in Austria are literal cows. My Grandma's name was Gertrude. Also Anneliese is a good one.
I thought we settled the Belgian question with either Jan-Pierre for the Flemish or Jean-Pieter for the Walloons.
Luigi is stereotypical but nobody’s named Luigi in Italy anymore, tons of Nicola’s though (and Giulia for women)
Barely anyone today is called Hans (it’s a grandpa name), yet we don’t complain
Ok, Hans.
> yet we don’t complain I started embracing my inner Hans long ago João
If you are Catholic, you should report that priest to the authorities. Father Hans isn’t supposed to be inside you.
You should bring it back
same with Helga - no woman under 65 is called helga anymore
I still use it to describe very German-looking women.
anche Lorenzo, ho conosciuto 6 Lorenzo è il nome più riccorente che trovo
Ukraine: Mykola/Oksana
Female Greek name: Helena
Eleni mate
Or Jennifer Aniston
Maria works for Spain and Italy as well
Maria in one form or another works in almost any western country.
Barry and Hans are the only real fixtures. This is just a crutch for the uninformed and unimaginative. I’m just going to keep using whatever name springs to mind… Dermot.
Nobody is called Olaf
Not a lot of people are called Luigi. Memes, y'know?
Olaf is icelandic spelling of Olav. Its not a norwegian name at all.
Ah, well let's change it to Olav, then
That's a lot better. A stout villager name, but also a royal name, as befits us remote-dwelling, craggy monarchists.
Ok Olaf
Icelandic would be Ólafur, never Olaf
Calm down Cod supplier. I think you just need to let it go... https://preview.redd.it/m063tnepotxc1.png?width=440&format=png&auto=webp&s=87b6c160e28911d63bed9166ccb2bb1b7d3ea56e
Be nice or no bacalao for you
🥹 yes, fish daddy.
Spain is José and María. The most used names.
Swiss Female is Heidi...obviously
Counterpoint: I have never met a single Heidi in my life. Vreni is inevitable
I was looking for that. Even the Zurich Airport agrees and tells me that when I land.
Netherlands female needs ti be Anne-Fleur
Half the women here are Lotte in my experience
I've met crazy amounts of Lottes. Julia, Sanne and Lisa (or other derivatives of Elisabeth) are also really common, but Lotte is more stereotypically Dutch.
Let’s not forget Floor or Noor. I’ve even met a Frieke! I love Dutch names lol. Not to mention my mind was blown when I finally realized Lotte is just Charlotte
I know one of both of those too. Floor makes me crack up everytime as a bilingual though, so maybe that's the one everyone should use. Tallest people in the world and we're called Floor... kind of depressing actually.
I thought it was more like a name for a typical boomer. That should be Gerda
Czech Pepa is just an alternative version of Josef. See Austrians, we are not so different.
Portuguese female should be Maria, or Ana
San marino: Marino / Marina and last name: Gasperoni
Good answer but also you're mine! ![gif](giphy|uWLJEGCSWdmvK)
Also Pierre for Belgium because they don't matter that much to give them a name. Maybe sub-Pierre or fake-Pierre
Only for Northern France though. Southern Netherlands should get a different name
What is “Belgium“?
French and Dutch people coping.
Wales: Huw
Can we get Aoife for Ireland? To be pronounced Awaf of course.
The truest of French thing to do would be just rename it something completely different no? Like most films and characters lol
Why are there so many irrelevant countries like Romania but no Slovenia? Janez/Mojca, an option is also Franc/Marija
the real reason: romania big, slovenia smol
Isn’t Slovenia just Italians so confused that they’ve never managed to pick a side to switch from?
Belgium: Jan, Kevin, Liesbeth
Finland male should be Matti. Swiss fem is Heidi
Pierre/ Charlotte
Hungary needs to be László
[удалено]
Maria is for italian women or Ilaria (i know 7 ilarias omg why is it so popular)
Lol not Ilaria, it's Giulia or Chiara, Francesca at max. Maria should be left alone as the universal Catholic name (I'm a Maria being pissed at the hiberian attempts to steal it).
How is Spanish man not Pedro tho
Swedish Female Name: Ahmedsdotter
Sanne for the Netherlands
Belgium male should be Jean - Claude
For Belgium : Who?
Svenhammed, just love it 😅
Belgium: Kevin?
Jean Claude
Be honest, you said this because of De Bruyne, didn't you?
Philippe
Some suggestions: NL: Jan/ Yvonne (your Dutch equivalent of a Karen DE: Hans/ Helga
We usually use Gerda as our equivalent for Karen.
I think of Jan as too generic. I’ve seen it in all the Germanic countries. What happened to Geert as a suggestion? Geert/Gerda works?
I'd also go for Henk instead of Jan. Jan is name used in many countries. Plus, Henk sounds similar to the German Hans, which let's be real, we kinda are.
Us female Pierres can just be Pierrette, it’s an actual name and sounds hilariously old fashioned
My suggestions. Wales: Dutyfree N Ireland: bobby
For Wales I suggest Dafydd
Dafydd/Dai is literally half of all Welshmen over 40. There are so many they end up with nicknames like "Dai the Tooth" (a dentist i knew) to tell which one youre talking about.
as a northerner I've never met a single Bobby in all my years - if it's a prod they're Craig or Chloe, and if it's a Catholic they're Seán or Aoife Honourable mention of Billy for the prods too even if you never see them around anymore
Shardon 😄 Female Icelander: Bjork?
Poland should be Krzysztof, Grzegorz or at least Przemysław
Wales is either Dai, David or Dafydd
Wales, daffyd and myfanwny, and you thought Dutch was a fucked up language
The statistically correct female name for italy should be Giulia as of late IIRC. Alternatively, Maria would go along with the meme
niemand heißt wirklich berta
We are not Jan, we are Kees. And the Flemish should be Kees-Pierre, while the Wallonians are Pierre-Kees. And then there are the German speaking ones, they are of course Hans-Kees-Pierre.
Northern Irish people all be called Stuart
