1. Estonian

I have an interest in Finno-Ugrian languages.

[Swede]

3. Why are Finnish given and surnames so strange,yet Hungarian more ordinary.

Finns have given names like Antii,Jorme, Gedde etc.

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. Zoltán, Gyuri, Béla, Ibolya, Zoncsi, Istvan

are more ordinary?

[JVS]

9. Well Istvan is a perfectly normal name

[Swede]

12. I get your point to a degree,I grew up in a large Hungarian community in Canada.

I knew a couple Zoltans. Gyuri is Julius,Istavan is Stevan.The others are named after colors?

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. Ibolya is Violet

Couldn't say about Béla and Zoncsi. They're not colors, though.

11. The age at which ice-cream may be eaten depends on the laws of Estonia

And I believe all of these ladies are old enough for a nice cone

Captian Marko Ramius was Lithuanian. That's good enough for me.

15. I'm Lithuanian (with the pics to prove it)

well, they don't actually prove it, since I got them off the web, but they echo the pictures my grandmother took when she went to visit Lithuania two summers ago :)

18. We adopted our daughter from Latvia - my wife actually went there to pick her up (while I stayed at

home with our son).

If she ever decides to go back for a visit, I would love to go with her.
