Yeah, I already tried that one. And the girl's names on it aren't very good...  |

 şelale sounds so funny .....i mean it is like a joke..
we spent 3 months on deciding a name and finally we came to the point that finding a girl's name is easier....
and one more thing women like names like berk,berke,arda kindof soft sounding new generation names for their sons but when it is for the girls they prefer traditional names like zeynep, esra, k�bra or tough names like azra, g�rkem...Men do the same but with a small difference ;for the boys tough names like batuhan,mete,yiğit or traditional names like yavuz, kemal,ahmet are prefereed but for naming the daughters we men love names like yasemin,g�zde, ceren, ceyda, başak( my favorite one)... |

Oooh, Ceyda's good-- I'll run it by my husband. Sounds like some 40's film diva. I like Hediye for that reason-- you can shorten it to Heddy.
I really like the sound of Başak for Turkish, but it's a little harsh for English. In the US, I knew a Turkish couple called Başak and Aşkın, and it took me a long time to keep straight which was the woman's name and which was the man's...
Too bad English and Turkish aren't like Spanish or Italian where you can tell just by looking at the last letter whether it's a boy's or a girl's name... |

| Ah, you did write Ceyda! I think I read it as Şeyda, which sounds a bit trailer park-y for my tastes... |

Selale sounds nice in English...it's rather onomatopoeic. And it can be shortened to 'shel' |
