	super fun! i can't believe some of the easy ones i missed.

	I think that Paolo is more correct than Paulo for Italian. At least, the apostle's name is San Paolo. Also Santiago was always the traditional Spanish form of Jacob/James and is still widely used; only recently the form Iago or Yago was adopted (quite logically, because Santiago should be used only for the apostle, as it incorporates the title "sant" ["san" in modern Spanish], i.e. "saint").

	Nice quiz. Jacobo is the most obvious and most common hispanic form of Jacob used in Mexico and the US, I believe. I've never met an Iago. That must be in Spain.

	I also think Alexandr should be accepted, and I second the Paolo and Jacobo suggestions

	Why 'Karl' so many times? Also, since when is 'Cristophe' French for 'Lewis'?

	mrpotwtf69:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 19:35 GMT	4 points
	Why is the format so messed up? Just put them all together so there isn't as much scrolling.

	cthulhu:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 20:34 GMT	3 points
	The content is good, but I don't like the formatting at all.

	Apparently, Sporcle's the one that's gone nuts. It's not bks0070's fault.

	Agree with the above. I played this game yesterday and it was all OK. There was a heading, e.g. "John" and below it were the five rows for the answers in the five languages. But I don't know what happened today. I was preparing a geography game and had to enter the data again because all the rows became scrambled.

	Why not throw in a few female names?

	Melanie:	Nov 3rd, 2010 at 03:18 GMT	2 points
	Anton is just as Russian for Anthony as Antony...think Anton Chekhov.

	cthulhu:	Nov 3rd, 2010 at 14:02 GMT	1 point
	Ah, much better! The only addition I might make is to also accept 'Giacopo' for the Italian Jacob. Great quiz.

	mmuller86:	Nov 4th, 2010 at 00:13 GMT	2 points
	You should add Luigi for the Italian form of Lewis and also Diego for the Spanish form of Jacob http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_(name) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego

	Imon:	Nov 4th, 2010 at 00:53 GMT	2 points
	I agree with Luigi for "Lewis/Louis" in Italian. It's much more commonly used than Ludovico.

Comment below threshold: show it

	nightfloat:	Nov 30th, 2010 at 22:21 GMT	1 point
	Great game! I think Giacomo should be accepted for Italian Jacob - Jacob and James are the same name and I think this is more common.

	rca:	Dec 7th, 2010 at 19:51 GMT	1 point
	Good one.

	lucia:	Dec 27th, 2010 at 21:02 GMT	1 point
	very interesting

	I study Spanish in school, but I did a lot better with German. Odd.... On a side note, thank you Lady Gaga for "Alejandro" :)

	gavat:	Feb 4th, 2011 at 15:19 GMT	1 point
	This was awesome! I loved this quiz. Just a note (not that it super matters) Under "Charles" you wrote "Geman" (missed the r)

	Great game! Female names for a sequel, maybe?

	drfreshey:	Sep 23rd, 2011 at 23:55 GMT	1 point
	Funny, I always thought that Christopher itself was German.
