I know many Cypriots with names such as.............
Andreas, Costas, Nicholas, Giorgos, Panayiotis, Dimos, Christina,
Georgia. Maria, Elena, Katerina, and several more.
BUT,
I only know 1 of each of these.................
Evdokias, Kleopatra, Olympiada & David.
All are Cypriot whom I know well.
Are there any more unusual names?
