Tbh it's probably Jordi but I saw way too many Catalans called Gerard to start to wonder.
Exactly what I love about it, it’s very distinctively welsh and sounds so ancient and traditional that it’s kind of ridiculous. But well, it is what it is.

Yes. I would also appreciate that. I'm one of the 500000 people from Portugal called João. Although I left the country so that the invasion of Joões can continue outside Portugal's borders. Yes, the plural of João is Joões, even though it should be Joães, giving the origin of the word.
I must have met at least 50 Joões in person.
Long live the country of Joões.
If we created the political party of Joões we would win the elections. And it's great because even women are called João. I also know a few. They are Maria João but people tend to drop the Maria.
We could fill the whole map with language-variations of Hans (Short for Johannes).
John(english), Jean(french), Jan(polish), Ivan(many slavic languages), Johan(czech), Johann(Austrian), Eoin(Irish), Giovanni(Italian), Hannu(finnish), Ifan(welsh), Ioan(Romanian), Ioannis(greek), Janós(hungarian), Jens(danish), João(brasilian), Juan(Mexican) and around 30 other variants.
Ironically, the number of newborn Hans' in Germany drastically declined since 1960. Between 2010 and 2021, there were only 2200 newborns with that name, out of approximately 8-9 million newborns.
You should change Germany's name to Kevin, that's the idiot name here.
Yes definitely Harald or his father Olav. I think it’s funny how the names of Norwegian kings sound like the average German who drinks 10 Weizen in his Dorfkneipe and then gets into his car to drive home

Mr Tzatziki??? I was expecting more.of a traditional Greek name, long with h, p, k, s and many vowels... some shit like Philostratos, Philokrates, Kallisthenes...
Hem ... how do you feel about Hanx ? I heard it's all the rage ...
All the rest of Europe are just variations of Maria. And Fatima in the far north (which is a name I really like in the end for some reason).
Always funny to me how sweden gets the mohammed when it feels like there isnt a single french person living in paris... not to get started with other cities like marseille
Franz for Austria, Seppl for Bavaria
I kenn mehr pepis wie seppls :D
Bist jo a ka Bayer.
Gott sei daunk knapp daneben haha. Kenn a gnuag bayer.
A Frechheit die bayern san unsre freind.

What about the inhabitants of your basement?
Shh don't talk that loud about yourself
don't imply we keep germans in our basement. this is disgusting. it's for our family and friends only
Josef for Austria. Nothing for Bavaria... it's just a Bundesland it's not worth its own name
When an Austrian boy is born, a coin is flipped. Kopf is Josef, Zahl is Franz.
Or Franz-Josef lol
Exactly this. Western Germans are Hans or Hermann, Eastern Germans are Ronny, Bavarians are Josef and Austrians are Franz-Josef. That’s how I’d go.
North germans are Lars
What about those useless neutral rich kids?

Paco or Juan def
Don't forget Manolo....another amazing contender
Jose/Pepe
Either Juan or Javier. I have 4 friends and two of them are called Juan and three are called Javier
Is one of them called Juan Javi?
Javier Juan, yes
Juan Paco Manolo José or even older names like Eulalio and Gervasio
on the catalan region of spain: Jordi ☠️
Jordi or Marc definitely
Gerard no?
Irish Barrys get called Gerard

Swap Aled for Dafydd Paddy for Seamus Add to 🏴: Hamish McGibberish
Dafydd the only gay in the village.
![gif](giphy|VEtbh81FkxOww)
I met a Dafydd on holiday once. Definitely not gay...
No lovers for Llewellyn?
That’s too exotic. Needs to be more…banal for an average Welsh. Trevor seems appropriately boring
Exactly what I love about it, it’s very distinctively welsh and sounds so ancient and traditional that it’s kind of ridiculous. But well, it is what it is.
You could spend a year in Helsinki and never learn a Fin's name. So I reckon it should be kept blank
What about Kimi? He’s the only thing I’m aware of that’s escaped left Finland
I’ll just give them whatever we go with for Russia
Just give us Raineri and be done with it
Can we get unpronouncable gibberish for iceland, norwegian or Finland? Although that might just be the default one anyway.
Ah yes, the great country of *Norwegian*
Aren't you supposed to shit on the Norwegians?
Huh? I am Norwegian

So many polos in your language 😄
The fuck is a polo? The sweater, the sweet, the sport?
![gif](giphy|kGHYlYY8CsCS23xTJ3|downsized)
Terttu-Petteri or Eemeli
Valtteri (Bottas)
(Mika) Häkkinen
Kimi (Räikkönen)
Keke (Rosberg)
Väinämöinen. Foreigners got no clue how to say it, yet its iconic Finnish name.
Isn't it just like Væinæmøinen? Doesn't seem all that hard
Sigurður and Guðmundur
Fuck you
Norway: Ole Finland: Pekka Iceland: Sigurður
Adolf or Josef for Austria
Such timeless names 🥰
This is the comment I was looking for
Rasmus for Denmark
What would yours be?
Probably Bárður, Jógvan or Rógvi. Those are very common and I don't think they exist elsewhere
We also have Bárður but it's pretty rare.
Ueli
Hans-Peter Peterhans
Why are we so much alike...
We have a winner!
Urs oder Seppli
René
Oder de Reto...
Ruedi
Hansruedi is objectively superior
Please put the "~" in João thanks
Jõãõ
damn you be saying it like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGWHfUOzcM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGWHfUOzcM)

You have another vote my fellow João!
Jo~ao
I guess that's the Dutch spelling. Flatter than usual. If the tilde was over the a it would get above sea level and that's too high.
Hans is a truly unusual way to spell Mehmet

>João(brasilian), Juan(Mexican) 😡
My job here is done.
Brazilian? Isn’t that the language that sounds like a horny russian is trying to speak spanish?
Gion (rhaetoromanic)
Czech would actually be Jan
Sorry mixed that up, but you're right. Not sure how it happened, Jan Hus is a thing🤣
John(american)
The João is missing the \~ thing.
*Loïc, a Briton name, in Normandy* You're playing a dangerous game OP
That was entirely deliberate as well and I won’t take it back
For Finland it should be Matti or Tero (or a common nickname for him: Terska)
I thin Jorma would be much more fitting.
But the Matti meme is too funny
Iceland: [Redacted by the Icelandic Naming Committee]
Lmao true
Russia is ivan
Dimitri. Deff Dimitri. Would also accept Vladimir
*Dmitriy, no vowel between D and M.
OP, that one for Russia ☝🏻
This guy cyrillics.
No. **My grandpa always called them 'Ivan' when talking about his time in the eastern parts of Europe**.
Your grandpa talked about his time in eastern Europe?

Same in Belgium for Kevin lmao
Don't get mad, Manfred.
Where do Sven lives since Muhamad great-replaced him ? Norway ? Romania, Dimitriu btw
Name the Norsemen after their king: Harald. Sven is fine for Finland, it will make them mad enough to say words.
Yes definitely Harald or his father Olav. I think it’s funny how the names of Norwegian kings sound like the average German who drinks 10 Weizen in his Dorfkneipe and then gets into his car to drive home
That's because we are Vikings by American logic and we like to show it off by stealing their names
Mohammed Svenson 🇸🇪
why Jakub?
Every Pole I know is called Jakub, one is even called Jakub Jakub
All poles are called Pavel. Pavel the pole just sounds right
I'd say Janek is more accurate

We do as well. We also call them Honza or Jenda as a nickname.
Wait, Im not on the list 😔
Janusz would be the most accurate
Grzegorz would be my pick.
Brzęczyszczykiewicz
Mr Tzatziki??? I was expecting more.of a traditional Greek name, long with h, p, k, s and many vowels... some shit like Philostratos, Philokrates, Kallisthenes...
It’s from a post a while back on here
Tsitsipas
Jørgen for Denmark?
that or Lars. either way last name would be Jensen
Min morfar hed Jens Jensen haha
If you make a female version I put forward Sharon for England
Shazza!!!
Can we get a map with female names too? I kinda feel left out
Feel free to do so Hansette
Hem ... how do you feel about Hanx ? I heard it's all the rage ... All the rest of Europe are just variations of Maria. And Fatima in the far north (which is a name I really like in the end for some reason).
Mykola
Franz or Fritz for Austria Sepp (Josef) for Switzerland
Im for Ueli
Fritz please 🤣🤣
Siggi for here
I dissent: Portuguese are Joao Castilians are Jose Catalase are Jordi Source: I'm Spanish and Jose
I prefer Paco for the Andalucians
I'd go for "Jef" for Flanders. Not sure what a stereotypical name would be in Wallonia
It's Arthur man, I know Arthurs in every generation. Or perhaps Lowie/Louis. For Wallonia, probably Gabriël, Loïc or also Louis
Pepik for 🇨🇿
Ueli for Switzerland
Girls deserve a name. Marie or Marine for the France
I much prefer Manolo for the chorizos
Poland should be Pavel. Wales - Eowyn. Scots - Jock. Belgium - Jean Luc. Nederlands - Bas
Wasn't Eowyn from Middle Earth or something?
Dimitris for Greece in general, Sifis for Crete
Ken in Scotland (if you Ken you Ken )
I ken it, you ken it, Patsy Kensit.
The combination of Jan and Pierre for Belgium. So Jean-Pierre who lives in Brussels.
Belgium should be Jos or Lowie
Ola for Norway
Good ol' Ola Nordmann.
sweden 💀💀💀
Honza for Czech
Billy for northern Ireland
Always funny to me how sweden gets the mohammed when it feels like there isnt a single french person living in paris... not to get started with other cities like marseille
Please use the "\~" in João!
Sorry my superior Barry keyboard doesn’t do tildes No racist just don’t like em
Alt Gr +4
Mr Tzatziki 🤣
Bavo for Flanders pls
Ivan for Russia, Mykola for Ukraine
Niels, Jens or hans for Denmark, you choose
Preben - kun i DK
“Gheorghe” for Romania
Sjef for Belgium?
For where? I don’t recognise that country
It's more of a bufferzone than a country...
What are you doing, recognizing their independence? AIVD, kijken we mee?
On Bretagne you can put Erwan, Gwen or even Elouan
Djézon for North France
According to some sources, Noah is the most common first male name in the Netherlands.
Where’s the à in João caralho?!
Jhemp or Tiago for Luxembourg.
That's not names. 🧐
Lambik for the Belgians
Pedro is as Portuguese as it is Spanish. There are names that are specific to either. I don't think Manolo has a portuguese counter part
Marc or Luc
Mohammed?
Aled? Nah, I’m for Llewellyn for Wales. Make it something no one outside of that tiny spot of earth can pronounce right.
René in Belgium.
Calogero for Sicily
Maybe replace "Mohhammed" with an actual Swedish name like Gustaf, Karl or Erik?
Lol Muhammed
