How to choose a Hungarian girl name
Decide whether you want a name that is unmistakably Hungarian in spelling, a Hungarian form of an international classic, or a name that travels easily across languages. Szilvia, Zsófia and Erzsébet clearly signal Hungarian orthography; Anna and Petra travel more easily internationally.
Pronunciation matters
Names containing sz, zs, gy, ny or accented vowels may need explanation outside Hungary. That is not a flaw, but it is useful to understand the sounds rather than anglicizing them accidentally.
