    In Egypt the higher social classes tend to choose "larpy" names taken from ancient Egypt for their daughters (Neftis and Lamis, for example). For men however the Mohammeds and Mahmouds still dominate the charts.

    Names that are obviously christian tend have a negative effect on your social life and employment chances. It's hard living in Egypt if you're called Kirilos or Boutros for example.

    Born with an international name. Bulgarian enough not to be treated as following WASP trends and common in enough states not to be considered ''weird'' or ''Eastern''. Many Bulgarians are like that. More so in the cities but to a large degree in villages, too.
