In all the languages I know, some names are formed in the language or some=
=20
ancestor thereof, and others are borrowed. For instance:
"William" is common Germanic; "David" is borrowed from Hebrew.
"Graciano" was apparently formed in Latin; "Misael" is from Hebrew.
"=D0=92=D0=BB=D0=B0=D0=B4=D0=B8=D0=BC=D0=B8=D1=80" was formed in Slavic; "=
=D0=9F=D0=B0=D1=84=D0=BD=D1=83=D1=82=D0=B8=D0=B9" is from Coptic.
Some name-meanings occur in multiple languages:
Theodore, Dorothy, Bogdan, Godiva: I suggest cevdud.
Victor and Nikita: jing.

Back when, I suggested that each person have two family names, one passed f=
rom=20
mother to daughter and one passed from father to son. (This is different fr=
om=20
the Hispanic system, in which the name a mother passes on is the one she=20
inherited from her father.) So my maternal family name is the same as my=20
grandmother's, who was born on a boat, but I can't pass it on; my niece=20
Barbara and my second niece (?) Samiya can.

Some ideas for fu'icme:
stefan., iorg., timotios., karolinas., damaris., sofias., adam., ca'ul.,=20
ixeskel., deborat., xavat., mariam., vilym., elfrik., xenrix., vigdis.,=20
xedyr., e'elred.

Some others:
tsaxac., finvlip., bakygid., mlerul., camrok., pudypam.
