	drfreshey, you are right: There is Christopher in German, but also Christoph. The english Christopher is, however, equivalent to the german Christopher.

	oh, and John is mostly Johannes in German, like the Johns related to the bible

	Nice quiz! I never would have imagined Yuri was a form of George

	Stepan is a more popular form of Stefan here in Russia.

	I would argue there are a lot more English-speaking folks named "Louis" than "Lewis."

	Hey, this was a realy fun and informatve quiz. I missed a handful of obvious ones (misspelled Bach's first name???), and learned a bit. merci, grazie, danke, etc.

	Seems to have a few bugs, a few times other answers popped up when I had entered something different.

	Great quiz! Just one note: "Jacques" is the French name for "James," not Jacob. Jacob in French is the same, "Jacob."

	Go_Phils:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 20:51 GMT		14 points
	"Jacopo" should also be accepted as an Italian form of Jacob.

	Great quiz. Well done.

	TyranAmiros:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 22:30 GMT		8 points
	Fun quiz! The only Russian names I got were by chance. I also really struggle with "Jacob", because "James" is itself a derivative of "Jacob", and was trying to give "Jaime" and "Giacomo" as answers, but they didn't work. It might be clearer if "James" was also in the quiz.

	lyss027:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 22:50 GMT		6 points
	Giacomo is Italian for James, Giacopo is Jacob. I've never seen Giacobbe before...

	kekort2:	Nov 14th, 2012 at 23:02 GMT		8 points
	Boy, I'm in pain after all the facepalms when the answers were revealed.

	cmkeller:	Nov 15th, 2012 at 00:29 GMT		6 points
	Isn't "Georgi" also a Russian form of George?

	ari18:	Nov 15th, 2012 at 00:56 GMT		1 point
	"Giacopo," "Yacopo" and "Jacopo" are all common Italian variants.

	lennycrew:	Nov 15th, 2012 at 00:57 GMT		4 points
	Did anyone say the name in the respective accent to come up with the different versions?

	DerekH:	Nov 15th, 2012 at 01:26 GMT		3 points
	I got the German 'Charles', but not the Russian one. Since they're the same, I'm left feeling a bit confused.... But on a second attempt, it gave me both. Even more confused... And on further experimentation, 'Carl' gives German 'Karl', but not Russian 'Karl' - eh?
