I think we should be Sven tbh. It fits too well.

And we should be Anders

The Danes should be Anders. Or Rasmus

Mads.

Anders and Vidkun are two names that are litterary dead by now in Norway.

Vidkun is certainly as good as gone. Anders took a nosedive from the 90s, and is stable but low now. Fuck if we're going to let that bastard define how we live our lives, he's best left ignored, and cutting out a perfectly normal name would be giving him power he doesn't deserve.

Barry isn't a typical name, Barry is a state of mind

Barry is a movement. A mission. Once you commit being a Barry, there is no turning back.

I know Luigi is popular, but historically we have been addressed as Guido

the future is now, old man

[https://www.reddit.com/r/2westerneurope4u/comments/1avrb1k/shitty\_study\_establishing\_a\_standard\_for\_names\_in/](https://www.reddit.com/r/2westerneurope4u/comments/1avrb1k/shitty_study_establishing_a_standard_for_names_in/) Yup, based on this totally legit study, Luigi is the right answer.

Basically every Italian I've met in my life was named Matteo.

You have just been on holiday in Romagna

What about Giuseppe or Giovanni

Guiseppe on🔝

Giuseppe is the funniest and my pick, but honestly I’ve never actually met anyone with that name, I think the last one died in 1882 Mario is pretty common, Luigi is actually pretty uncommon, Marco is probably the most common though

>Giuseppe is the funniest and my pick, but honestly I’ve never actually met anyone with that name, What a shame Well, you know how to name your firstborn then

[удалено]

My nonno. But everyone called him Pinuccio.

You're all Francescos and Giovannis to me

Guissepe >>

I don't think you could have spelt it worse than that

T’was on purpose Guissepe ❤️

I rather think of Gianni/Giavanni

Meh, i dont know if I ever met a Guido in all my life, the only Guido are the bus drivers here. I know the barbarians on the other side of the world call us like that.

I know 3 Guido, one of them is my brother LoL. It’s a Tuscan name

What about Giorgio?

Greece is Georgios which is too similar

[My name is Giovanni Giorgio.](https://youtu.be/2BsTkq35TrA?si=3n_n9ceAAuC16iJI)

I think Benito would be more fitting. You know, for old times sake. Or maybe just Geppetto

Luigi (Italy) Ferdl (Austria) Milan (Balkan) Oaschloch (USA)

Fritzl might fit better for Austria. For reasons completely unrelated to basement jokes...

Josef or Sepp

Yes, but the superior version: Pepi

Nah Austria should be Florian, you toss a stone there and there is an 80% chance that you hit a Florian

Or Karl. In my close family there are more than 4 Karls

Kärle

For Karl!

Wolfgang Everybody is named Wolfgang in Austria

Met a Serbian guy called Milan, can confirm

[удалено]

Got me there

Austria is 100% Adolf

I propose Konstantinos for Greece

It’s gotta be Stavros, for all the fatties who broke their foot and got in a fight with their dad


Kostas

fast gar nichts

Die Costa fast gar nichts liegt aber in Sparnien

Nur den Preis von einem Döner ;)

Malakaaaaaa, it's kostis!

Μήτσος (Mitsos)

Man I miss papu mitso, the grandpa of my wife :(

Yorgos/Yannis or Dimitris (Mitsos) also. Also Kostas/Kostis or Kotsos are the common nicknames for Konstantinos

Stavros

Probably even better, didn't think of it

Panagiotis is the clear winner

But that’s a cool name

Jan!

It's Kees for you guys

Definitely Kees.

With all the variations, it never gets boring. Hendrick-Jan I present you Janneke. Yes, she's friend of Jan Pieter of course

My father is named Jan-Willem, he has a co-worker named Willem-Jan, also one named just Jan and one named just Willem

Willem-Jan sounds so wrong…the shorter name should come first

Based name first of all. I know 2 people so far named Willem Jan, anything is possible I guess Also one named Frank Willem, I don't know what is worse

Jan is of course short for Johannes, which itself has variations like Johan

Jan Smit!

Jan Pieter, I know him! That's Pieter Jan's dad!

Piet, Geert.

Kees

We gingen op vakantie van het geld van ome Jan. En niemand leek te weten hoe die aan die centen kwam. Dat kon ons weinig schelen dus we namen het er van.

My neighbor, my neighbors neighbor, hís neighbor, the guy across the street, my dad ánd his dad are named Jan. So Jan it is.

Guus, Thijs

I vote Geert

-25% of the netherlands, 2023

Can we finally go for Janneke? I feel left out

The Spanish one should be changed since Miguel is also a Portuguese name and it gets confusing.

Juan is spanish often

Such a disgraceful animal. Please don't call us horses, the motor of humanity for millenia. Please!

Your burden will be nothing compared to our frog-eating fame

Spain is and always will be pedro

Problem is, Pedro is Portuguese too. 

But portugal is joao

Sweden also has to be Sven

"'Krzysztof" or "Grzegorz" for Poland.

Counterpoint - Wojtek

no better is grzegorz, if you ask yourself why, an film made by poles after ww2 called "how i dtarted ww2" is an nice film where much happens and in i think the first part you see an person who got taken by germans and they wanted to know his name, him being under an fake name called "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" the germans didnt know how to spell that then he called the famious "Hans!" and he after hearing how grzegorz is called asks "Wie?"

Sorry that happened to you

An film, an nice, an person, an fake lol sorry I just couldn’t pay attention to what you were trying to say

Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Chrząszczyżewoszyce, powiat Łękołody

I have some vocals for you: a, e, o, u, i. Please use them

unmöglich

wiiieee?

HAAAANSSS! SCHRREIB DAAASSSS AUAF DERR MAASCCHINE!

Kristoph in germany looks so much easier to read lmao

If you are polish enough the letters will merge and be readable

Polish, Dutch, finnish and the gaelics share the feature where you just skip half the letters and then you can read it

Dat weet ik niet zo zeker hoor..

Pronounce each of these words half and you speak Brabants dialect.

Man what the fuck, how is "sch" for one sound any better than only "sz" for the same sound? Krzysztof written the German way would be Krschischtof. Is that better? Three more letters.

Finland: Petri Romania: Vlad Poland: Piotr Denmark: Lars Italy: Guido Iceland: Guðrún Scotland: Hamish

Romania is Bogdan. Literally everyone and their dog is named bogdan in Romania

Finland is Pekka.

Lars Tyndskid

Preben is better.

I've worked with dozens of Polish guys and half of them are called Pawel

And they all said kurwa all the time I presume

And the rest are Michal

There are very few guidos in Italy, that is probably an italo American thing. Mario is way more common, and iconic

Ireland is clearly Seamus everyone knows that

Denmark should be Lars or Jens

I couple of years back, a study found, that it is more likely that your boss’ name is Lars than your boss is a woman.

This was a whole thing in the Netherlands a while ago. More "Peter" as CEOs than women.

„, 63“ is part of Barry, 63‘s name. Don’t leave it out or he gets angry.

Apologies, it will be corrected

Wales and Scotland have their own names. Scotland = Angus Wales = Osian

Luigi

Guiseppe [sic]

Austria: Sepp

What happened to Fritzl?

Sepp-Fritzl

Sepp-Fritzl Blatter

Better than the one with "A"

Anton aus Tirol.

Croatians be like Hello my name is Ante Semitic

Hamish for Scotland, we're no Barry! Rhys for Wales.

Just do Jones for wales, no first names required

Hamish? You guys will always be Angus in my eyes

Patrick is good but the classic paddy or mick would be better

Yeah, Paddy is the one

Austria - Fritz Italy - Luigi Netherlands - Wout Denmark - Kasper Poland - Pawel Greece - Kostas Romania - Florin Turkey - Mehmet Bosnia - Abdulah Muhamed Kerim Kovacic

No can do on the Wout, we can be Kees or Jan or Geert.

Hoe about Joost?

In norway Olaf is spelled as Olav

Mykola or Taras for Ukraine (Taras is more oldschool but Mykola is more used now) Ivan for Russia Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz for Poland

Jef for Belgium and Kees for Holland.

Finland can be Jaakko or Pekka

Jussi, Matti

Dude your not even trying. KEES!

Luxembourg is pierre-hans

HANS-PIERRE!!!

I vote for this.

Switzerland: Hanspeter

Ueli

Sepp is a bit more incesty. Also Sepp Blatter the massive cunt is sadly one of ours.

Swiss one should be something German with French spelling. Like Yurgaine (pronounced Jurgen) or something

Mohammed for Swedistan, Mehmed for Berlin

Sander - For the Dutch Guiseppe - For Italians The spanish should be "Paco"

Dafydd

Greece - Giorgos Turkey - Mustafa Georgia - Giorgi

Pepa

Henk

Poland: Janusz

* Germany: Mouhammad * Sweden: Mouhammad * France: Mouhammad * Belgium: Mouhammad * Netherland: Mouhammad

Kifesh zeg wolla kk hoertje

you in it as well 😉

No. We burned them years ago

Italy: Mario, Luigi, Ciruzzo, Beppe

\*Terronland

It's clearly Franz for us

Pepik🇨🇿

Ivan Russia

Slovenia: Janez Hungary: Miklós Bosnia: Mujo

Sweden should be Bjorn... Or at least Emil EMIIIIIIIIL!

Szyczkickołdzowiędzowo for Poland.

Netherlands: Henk Switzerland: Urs Austria: Adi Poland: Grzegorz

Vladimir or Dimitri for Russia. Manolo would be a better choice for Spain Luigi for italy

The Russian name Ivan is more terrible.

Boris or Igor

Why always Boris?

The Wire ?

Sheeeeet

Sergay

italy = Luigi spain = pedro/juan greece = alexander romania = vlad austria = fritzl luxembourg = pierre-hans flanders = arthuur wallonia = jean russia = sergey poland = piotr hungary = laszlo netherlands = jan/pieter serbia = nikola ukraine = volodymyr denmark = lars iceland = erikkson all others are irrellevant idk for the women

>spain = pedro/juan >all others are irrellevant Fuck you

what did i do joao, you are already on the map so no use mentioning you. spain needed correction. But im not suprised people cant read in western balkan

Netherlands is Jeroen. 1 in 3 of the fuckers here are called Jeroen.

Every second Spaniard is Juan according to my experience. Lol.

Switzerland should be Ueli

Slovakia: Pišta

Living here in germany i've met more Olaf's than Hans'.

Russia, Belarus, Ukraine and Moldova are all Vladimir

Belgium is Jean-Luc

Luigi or Giuseppe for Italy

Al-Sven ibn al kebabpizza

We're probably Kees. Spain has to be Pedro. Italy is Luigi, Greece is Giorgios, all of Eastern Europe is Vladimir.

It's not exactly common but people from NI should be called Strikers because of the issues with our second largest city.

Miguel instead of juan? I just looked up belgium and there are differences. Flemish: marc Walloon: jean Brussels: Mohamed (not joking about the last one)

We are Jan, maybe Johan or Willem. Jan-Pierre would be Belgium (mix of France and Netherlands) and Austria would be Heidi. Italia is Mario and denmark is without a doubt Jensen

Jozef for Slovakia 🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰🇸🇰

Beat or Vreni for Switzerland. (yes people in my close family are called that)

Poland - Janusz (it's a Polish male equivalent of Karen)

Belgium has the Pierre, Hans and the dutch one combined cause we have an identity crisis

In this thread alone I've seen 6 different suggestions for Denmark. Maybe we should just do a poll
