Karina is the name o a cousin of me. It's a very global name.

Nice names!

Is Franciska because the Pope? Here some people named their children "Francisco" because him.

[Shoegazing Leo]

Franciska (Francisca in portuguese) is not common here. Francisco is common. These names have nicknames: Fran or Chico/Chica (more common) in Brazil. Brazil has a tradition to give short nicknames for some names:
- Nando/Nanda or Fer for Fernando/Fernanda
- Dani for Daniel, Daniele, Daniela and another forms
- Zé for José (Joseph)
And so on.

Nice! What about Olivia? 

[BonzaiJoe]

Panka is something special with Pongo...

group answer!

No connection with the pope, we just happened to both like this name.

Panka is indeed has the best rhythm from these choices. My only concern with his name is that in Hungarian if a word ends with -ka or -ke that means small. So not sure it is a proper name for an adult. It is actually a nickname version of Panna, which is a nickname version of Anna. But sounds great
Almost everyone has shorter nicknames here, which is usually ending with -ka/-ke or -i. If we take my family:

Andrea-> Andi
Péter -> Peti
Barnabás -> Barni
Richárd -> Ricsi
Róbert -> Robi
Márton -> Marci
Marianne -> Manka (my mother)


Olivia: In Hungarian family name comes first, followed by the "first" name. We have chosen to relay both my and my wife's family name to our kids, so that would read Ács-Pongó Olivia. The double O is too strange to pronounce

Karina may be global but very rare in Hungary

What about Dalma or Gianinna?

[Duplode]

Zak family's names in portuguese and related nicks:


Andréa/Andreia if it's female or André if male -> Andi/Andy/Déia or Deco (male)
Pedro -> sometimes is Pê
Barnabé -> Barney (it's not common this name)
Ricardo -> Rick, Rico and rarely Cardo.
Roberto -> BetoMartin/Martim -> not common nickname
Mariana/Mariane -> Mari/Nane/Nana


When it's small, you can use -inho (man) or -inha (woman) in the end, but in some cases, the last letter will be supressed or adapted: i.e: Riquinho, Betinho, Marizinha.

Will I be the first active Stunts pipsqueak with three kids?   

Well, now that you've pointed my attention to this topic.
I don't know if there are more with 3.
I personally have 4 kids 

Oldest born in the year of the Dragon.
@zak, one of yours as well I believe

Attached is a lockdown memory photo from last summer. (All later family photos failed because there was always at least one protesting, crying or both)

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

My non-existing children do not deserve this world...

[Daniel3D]

I keep hoping that mankind will come to its senses and stop killing the earth.
But I think we have a better chance of colonising an other planet....
Just hope for the best and prepare my kids as well as possible to do there part.
