Hi All,


My partner is half Turkish and we are expecting baby #1 in September. We really want it to have a Turkish name as he and his three brothers all have Turkish names.



Just thought I would out something up to see what we got back. We have been googling like crazy and going through all his extended family for names too!


I think we have girl name picked.... just not sure about any boy names. shrug.gif



little help would be appreciated!!



Thanks!!
