	I think this has been the hardest one yet.

	James is certainly Jakab. All the English kings by the name are called Jakab in Hungarian. Btw: this was a pretty hard one even for a Hungarian.

	This one was pretty easy for me, but also tried the other languages that were challenging and enjoyable. For being constructive: More common forms of Andrew in Hungarian are András or even Endre. First I could not have told the form 'Rikárd' even exists. I checked that it does, but one cannot name a baby that without special permission from the register office.

	Interesting re: Rikárd! Re: Andrew, the source gave several forms. I picked the one that seemed not too easy/not too hard. If the form I used is really wacky compared to some other form, I could change it.

	@nightfloat: Rikárd is really rarely used, the more common form is Richárd, whick in turn looks very similar to Richard. Maybe you could add Ildikó as the Hungarian form of Hilda. As for Andrew: Andor is actually in use, but it feels pretty out-of-date. András is much more common.

	I wanted to include Ildikó as it's my favorite Hungarian name! But the source made it sound like it wasn't a certainty that it's equivalent to Hilda, so I left it off.

	I wonder why Lawrence is the least guessed, but I expected the other ones at the end of the list. If you want to add a really hard one: Győző = Victor

	Monty Python brought me here. In a way.
