Can you please give us your honest opinion on the following names for our baby boy?
My wife and I are expecting a baby boy later this year. We were both born and raised in London but have Turkish parents. We are thinking of giving our boy a Turkish name, but only if it sounds good and is easily pronounced in by non-Turkish speakers here in England. So here's what we have so far in no particular order:
Metin
Levent
Evren
Mete
Emre
Arden
Enver
Emil
Erdem
Thanks in advance!
Note. These names have been chosen as they are pronounced exactly as they are written (perhaps with the exception of Mete which is pronounced Mettay).

I love the name Emre! As someone who has lived in the US and UK both, I don't think many people will completely mispronounce it. I have met people with that name (and am not of Turkish descent at all) so I expect some average people will already be familiar with it. Arden is my second choice and probably easier for most people to pronounce. Also, congratulations on your future baby boy!

I think I like Arden the most, followed by Emil. I quite like the name Emel for a girl. I didn't know there was a male version (I'm not Turkish, but I'm learning the language and Emel comes up every now and then as an example name). Anyway, now I know and I think it's a great name for either gender (like Arden)!

I like Emre. I think non Turks shouldn't have a problem with.
Arden can also be a girl's name so perhaps don't go with that.

If you can't find a good Turkish name try using a British name and one of the Turkish options as a hyphenated or middle name

I like Arden and Levent, amazing names! I also like the name Emir, which is also Turkish.

Arden or Amil should be great. I myself am a Brit and those were probably the only ones I could pronounce ok. Good luck! Please update and tell us what you picked I've named two babies on this website already!
