Thought Attila was a girl's name.

Attila the Hun. It's so feminin.
It's almost like a boy named sue.
No wonder he was so mad.

lol? What makes it girls name? It's not even unisex name.

[Knightingale]

Amelia, Camila, Cecila... Attila.
It just fits a girls name.

And then add 'Hun' to it. lmao
I get it's probably a cultural sound.

Dont talk when you dont know a thing.

Attila is a Turkish name comes from "Atilla" two "L"s.

Its a guy name and can be put only to males.

Western people loves to speech when they dont know a crap.

Hate to burst your bubble, but outside of Turkey (where some people seem to take a weird pride in being related to some murdering and pillaging bloke on a horse) it is assumed that the name is a "nickname" given to him by the Goths (attila being the diminutive of atta, thus "little father").

I don't think I misunderstood you there, it is just that I disagree.

Nowadays Attila seems to be a popular name in some regions (Hungary, for example, comes to mind, most guys I met who were called Attila were from there and it might be popular in Turkey as well).

However, the first recorded bearer of the name was a Hun (with no definite place of origin ... some people actually claim that he was of Germanic origin of all things possible ...) and the name is assumed to be Goth by quite a few experts on the subject.

The origin of Cengis' name is also disputed, between either a fully Turkish name (well, title, dude was originally called Temujin ... or any other spelling that sounds similar :D) or a mix between Chinese and Turkish.

And feel free to make fun of Obama's name. :D I used to giggle when declaring war on the Obama clan in Shogun II.

As always, someone understood my words wrongly.

Most Eastern names/nicknames based on Turkish culture, since in History Turks arrived
to Anatolia from Asia, they left their names/cultures in various locations that they live-and-move.

For a example: Genghis Khan also a Turkish name, his actual name is "Cengiz" but most
western people know him as a "Genghis".

the point I trying to explain -and you folks dont want to understand- most western people loves to talk about everything like a "pro" even they dont know a thing. Thats a huge disrespect and they have false information about Turks and their culture/name etc etc.

Besides, there's a funny word about Obama in my language, but I'm not going to open a thread about "awww obama girl name yabayabyab" cause I show respect western names as I expecting you folks do the same.

End of story.

I don't mean to disrespect anyone named Attila.
I'm sure there are names we westerners have that make eastern folk laugh.

The problem is when one culture puts a friendly elbow jab to someone, then gets blown up for it, then someone's got issues.
If we really didn't like you then we wouldn't say anything. Because we wouldn't care or even realize you exist.

For what it's worth: I would never assume that Attila sounds like a girl's name ... mainly because I know that languages work differently. There are for example a few Italian male names that are
"girls only" in German-speaking countries.

Well, Attila can be so feminine for you because of the "-la" suffix. But in Turkish it means "At+ile"= Attila (Horseman, Cavalier). And it is so masculine. So don't think like that bro :D

Yeah that's what I was thinking, about the end of the name.

In Romance languages the "ah" sound at the end is often used for the feminine, and in a lot of Greek names and the English versions too.

That is the point with the boy named Sue? That was the premis to the whole song.
"Hello, my name is Sue, How do you do? Now you gunna die!"

If that's the case then this post might be older than you.
