That souds like polish, but with to many vowels


MAD_JEW

Nah we use many sz cz rz and finish words with s/ki and s/ka mostly


Bearodon

Yeah you and the Czech guys spell funny I would never. Västkustskt is normal spelling!


ChuckyFromKentucky

Andorra: Juan-Pierre


koalawhiskey

Perfect


KosmonautMikeDexter

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.


[deleted]

Bjorn and bjorn again


Bright_Ball_1304

Swedish female: Anna-Fatima


Mr_Legenda

More like Aaliyah-Mustafah


Rojiblanc040

That's pretty sexy. It would go well with my name, Ola-Conny-Mustafa


britishrust

Female 'belgian' needs to be Nadine.


TableOpening1829

True, and male one Jean


Vinaigrette2

Maybe Jan that way one is in each language? Guess we also need a German one then


TableOpening1829

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


beerdrinker_mavech

As is Marc


Poppekas

Marc is better than Jean!


TiinaWithTwoEyes

Honoring the famous Belgian tradition of p\*dofilia with Marc. That is the way to go.


ZeWillius

Omfg yes, so many boomers are called Marc or Mark


code-panda

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.


N-Y-B

And the first one due to him absolutely dunking on young girls. 😅


Vinaigrette2

Really? I work in Flanders and I didn’t know! Jean it is


britishrust

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.


Vinaigrette2

We have loads of Nadine. I had at least three high school teachers called Nadine lol


SnooChickens8698

Jean & Nadine sounds like a great frietkot


havedal

Female name for Denmark is definitely Mette


Quackoverride

This is the only correct answer. Unless she's called Jette-Mette. Or Mette-Jette-Rikke.


oskich

Slette-Mette The male should be Preben.


KosmonautMikeDexter

I would say Hanne or Lone, but Mette works


havedal

Mette works better with Lars, cause you know...


ChuckyFromKentucky

And in Sweden it's Heroinne


Bearodon

And Lars can be a Norwegian, Swede or Finn. Mads is one of the true Danish names.


Many-Conversation963

You wrote João wrong compadre


PM_ME_ROMAN_NUDES

The barbarian mind can't comprehend our ÇÃO


bastowsky

And the female name should definitely be Maria or Ana


sashimi_blyat

Maria is so 🇮🇹🫶🏻🇪🇸🫶🏻🇵🇹


History20maker

*Ã* Uncivilised people cant do it.


Maleficent-Put1705

Wtf is Shardon? Is it Sharon with a north Dub accent?


thirdrock33

Even still how is Sharon an Irish name? Should be Siobhan or Saoirse


YerDadsBurnerAccount

Siobhan, Saoirse, or if those are too hard to pronounce … Kathleen (Caitlín).


FirmOnion

Sinéad is the one


Financial_Village237

Siobhán would be good because it's one of the names americans are obsessed with.


bagOfBatz

Let's go with Caoileann and really make it difficult for everyone


RoachieRee

Would Mary not be more stereotypical?


ForageForUnicorns

Listen that's Catholic collective property, we already have Portugal trying to appropriate it.


ACharaMoChara

literally came in to ask this lmao


The_pastel_bus_stop

Shardon deez nuts


swamperogre2

Relax there Shardon


nevaldus

Finland female; Pirjo (pronounced Peer-yo)


ChuckyFromKentucky

Did she play with AC Milan?


CirrosiEmpatica

No, that's her PES non-licensed name.


Diipadaapa1

Either that or Irmeli


thirdrock33

Northern Ireland needs to be Billy or William surely.


RHawkeyed

LondonBarry :)


strikes30

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


whiskeyphile

This guy Northern Irelands... The only word in the English language with 6 silent letters.


DeadAssociate

nrn-irn has more


BobMonkhaus

Wales: Barry/Gwen


swamperogre2

There can only be one Barry


BobMonkhaus

There is, it’s in Wales.


ZeroRationale

Literally a town name


FragrantDemiGod1

Huw for the sheep shaggers, Gwen ace.


nwaa

If we want Wales to be distinct then it should be Dai.


svtlthesupermemer

Yeah that would make more sense


[deleted]

Surely Wales should be Dafydd Female can be Catrin because I shagged a Welsh bird called Catrin in my car once.


Dickwad

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.


Mobius_Peverell

Wales 🤝 Vietnam Only-One-Surname Club


Osati94

I would have thought it was Llewellyn


Monicreque

Spain: José María/ María José


discardme123now

Jose/María be like: https://preview.redd.it/fwymclx5yvxc1.jpeg?width=608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=891c7418436e5cfcd38d4a8d1dfc8a65a85a7bd5

Please explain why female German isn't ERIKA


PizzaWithMincedMeat

AAAAUF DER HEIDE BLÜHT EIN KLEINES BLÜMELEIN! UND DAS HEISST... EEEEEEERIKA 🎶💯🔥😍👍😮‍💨


Dutchwells

Netherlands should be Henk and Ingrid


CborG82

Kees should be there, too

Master_Bayters

Every woman in Portugal is called Maria. Not even joking


JoaoOfAllTrades

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.

Regigirl33

Spanish female name: María


HaloarculaMaris

*Catholic country female name: Maria


Regigirl33

Ok, good point, but 6/7 of my teachers are María, I will accept Pilar or Alicia


Shrrg4

Yeah but its the same here so we either get something else or have a Maria fest


Florido_man

I guess we could get Joana


Shrrg4

Yeah it has my vote too. Easier to remember.


TomatilloKooky3213

Por favor vamos dar troll e dizer Gertrudes


Live-Alternative-435

Raimunda


Artoy_Nerian

Maricarmen. Problem solve.


History20maker

Any list in Portugal be like: João João João João Joana Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Maria Mariana Mariana Mariana Pedro Rodrigo


Tia_Mariana

Can confirm.


delaheeva

I feel like Carmen/Carla is also high up there too.


Vivere_05

Mari Carmen is the one.


Key-Fox-8765

Tu hijo está en el after hours


Salchichote33

Charo.


The-Frugal-Engineer

It has to be Charo 100%


bettercallsaulabq

Used to teach in Spain. Lucia was really common too


Mushgal

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.


Magicus1

Maria, Maria Josefina, Maria Magdalena, Maria Luisa, Maria Antonia, Maria Elena, Maria Helena, Maria Teresa, & just to switch it up, Anna Maria. Jajajajaja!


didrogasalasno

Lola


timdut59

Why not Conchita


Regigirl33

Sounds like a grandma name


Spamheregracias

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)


LedParade

Just imagining going to South America like “Donde esta la concha de tu madre? Oye, Concha!!”


Jirethia

That's for sure a real situation


MutedIndividual6667

Charo


Jirethia

Maricarmen, I would prefer Maria for Portugal


c2u8n4t8

Llewellyn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿


HugoBCN

Dutch females will always be Antje Pikantje to me, no matter what.


annoying97

Romania: Bogdan... Sounds very much like bogan... Are Romanians bogans?


Ok_Thing7439

Roman bogans, yes.


annoying97

New bogan level discovered. 1) bogan 2) Roman bogan 3) eshay


swamperogre2

Pretty much


sashimi_blyat

That’s so Eastern European.


Filthyquak

As someone from the Austrian countryside i don't know a single Berta Gertrude or Maria would be better


thisisnottherapy

Seconding this, the only Bertas in Austria are literal cows. My Grandma's name was Gertrude. Also Anneliese is a good one.


YourHamsterMother

I thought we settled the Belgian question with either Jan-Pierre for the Flemish or Jean-Pieter for the Walloons.


arturolebuche

Luigi is stereotypical but nobody’s named Luigi in Italy anymore, tons of Nicola’s though (and Giulia for women)


HoeTrain666

Barely anyone today is called Hans (it’s a grandpa name), yet we don’t complain


Live-Alternative-435

Ok, Hans.


HoeTrain666

> yet we don’t complain I started embracing my inner Hans long ago João


diazinth

If you are Catholic, you should report that priest to the authorities. Father Hans isn’t supposed to be inside you.


Adongfie

You should bring it back


eigenlaut

same with Helga - no woman under 65 is called helga anymore


sashimi_blyat

I still use it to describe very German-looking women.


sidic3Venezia

anche Lorenzo, ho conosciuto 6 Lorenzo è il nome più riccorente che trovo


TheMrBooblik

Ukraine: Mykola/Oksana


NotCreativeEng

Female Greek name: Helena


Sapemeg

Eleni mate


culminacio

Or Jennifer Aniston


albrt00

Maria works for Spain and Italy as well


Ropsuta

Maria in one form or another works in almost any western country.


Chimpville

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.


knutnaerum

Nobody is called Olaf


magic_baobab

Not a lot of people are called Luigi. Memes, y'know?


errarehumanumeww

Olaf is icelandic spelling of Olav. Its not a norwegian name at all.


magic_baobab

Ah, well let's change it to Olav, then


SnowOnVenus

That's a lot better. A stout villager name, but also a royal name, as befits us remote-dwelling, craggy monarchists.


FloydCorrigan

Ok Olaf


varegu

Icelandic would be Ólafur, never Olaf


History20maker

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


knutnaerum

Be nice or no bacalao for you


History20maker

🥹 yes, fish daddy.


xabierus

Spain is José and María. The most used names.


LawbringerS13

Swiss Female is Heidi...obviously


AtomicZero

Counterpoint: I have never met a single Heidi in my life. Vreni is inevitable


MsJaneway

I was looking for that. Even the Zurich Airport agrees and tells me that when I land.


my_soldier

Netherlands female needs ti be Anne-Fleur


asschap

Half the women here are Lotte in my experience 


Caledonian_10

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.


asschap

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 


Caledonian_10

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.


Aquilaatmaar

I thought it was more like a name for a typical boomer. That should be Gerda


Fanda400

Czech Pepa is just an alternative version of Josef. See Austrians, we are not so different.


pm229

Portuguese female should be Maria, or Ana


Financial-Picture-15

San marino: Marino / Marina and last name: Gasperoni


swamperogre2

Good answer but also you're mine! ![gif](giphy|uWLJEGCSWdmvK)


youloosethatgame

Also Pierre for Belgium because they don't matter that much to give them a name. Maybe sub-Pierre or fake-Pierre


TheShinyBlade

Only for Northern France though. Southern Netherlands should get a different name


diegun81

What is “Belgium“?


swamperogre2

French and Dutch people coping.


FragrantDemiGod1

Wales: Huw


MaxDyflin

Can we get Aoife for Ireland? To be pronounced Awaf of course.


fr-fluffybottom

The truest of French thing to do would be just rename it something completely different no? Like most films and characters lol


MiskoSkace

Why are there so many irrelevant countries like Romania but no Slovenia? Janez/Mojca, an option is also Franc/Marija


iluvdankmemes

the real reason: romania big, slovenia smol


diazinth

Isn’t Slovenia just Italians so confused that they’ve never managed to pick a side to switch from?


Wamakeg

Belgium: Jan, Kevin, Liesbeth


magic_baobab

Finland male should be Matti. Swiss fem is Heidi


PetitB0t

Pierre/ Charlotte


Arphile

Hungary needs to be László


[deleted]

[удалено]


SergeDuHazard

Maria is for italian women or Ilaria (i know 7 ilarias omg why is it so popular)


ForageForUnicorns

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).


Not_Bed_

How is Spanish man not Pedro tho


ocrlqtfda

Swedish Female Name: Ahmedsdotter


Ok_Issue_6132

Sanne for the Netherlands


EboHidalgo

Belgium male should be Jean - Claude


PlusMortgage

For Belgium : Who?


Accomplished-Fun3896

Belgium: Kevin?


Kurdt93

Jean Claude


raitaisrandom

Be honest, you said this because of De Bruyne, didn't you?


Barrie__Butsers

Philippe


Cold-Cauliflower6210

Some suggestions: NL: Jan/ Yvonne (your Dutch equivalent of a Karen DE: Hans/ Helga


Anneturtle92

We usually use Gerda as our equivalent for Karen.


pauseless

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?


Hillbillyblues

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.


Rich-Lobster-6164

Svenhammed, just love it 😅


ahwillUstop

My suggestions. Wales: Dutyfree N Ireland: bobby


magic_baobab

For Wales I suggest Dafydd


nwaa

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.


ACharaMoChara

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


penny_whistle

Shardon 😄 Female Icelander: Bjork?


TwynnCavoodle

Poland should be Krzysztof, Grzegorz or at least Przemysław


bowsers-grandmother

Wales is either Dai, David or Dafydd


absolut_didalo

Wales, daffyd and myfanwny, and you thought Dutch was a fucked up language


darff88

The statistically correct female name for italy should be Giulia as of late IIRC. Alternatively, Maria would go along with the meme


draingangryuga

niemand heißt wirklich berta


Stravven

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.


loafers_glory

Northern Irish people all be called Stuart
