For a change let’s look at dog names rather than people names.
Humans love their dogs, and it helps in training if the dog has a name that’s short and easy to say. Tucker, these days, is a popular name, as is Raven, Zelda, and Zeus. Some names don’t mean anything but they sound cute, like Butters. So, extrapolating from this, what would cute dog names sound like in another language?
(Snoopy of Peanuts fame got his name from Charles Schultz’s mother Dena. As I heard the story, she was of Norwegian or Danish heritage, and Snupi — pronounced Snoopy — was a term of endearment that meant “beloved.”)
