    Unless you're going to do something useful with this list, I'll be kicking it over to The Cuckoo's Nest later.

    I used to know a Bianca from Sri Lanka.

    If I get enough ideas I'm going to publish them in a childrens book, great for giving a child a fun perspective of the size of the world we live in.

    Also, should the ethnicity of the names match the place or are we down with a one-world multicultural vibe?

    Just looking for ideas really, was at first concentrating on an Irish version ie
    Derry from Kerry
    Kerry from Derry
    .... But I was finding it impossible to do the 32 counties ( there's a challenge!!) so I had to broaden my horizons. I'm not too worried about matching names with origins to a degree because if it's going to be read by children they would need to have a connection with the name.
