I remember it belonging to the late French movie director, Roger Vadim and thought it French. Who knew:) Atakan means belonging to his "ancestors." All the Turkish names came from the sites I searched. <br />ChrisChris Karlsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325423894402727465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763664719710458192.post-43274907655097550472012-05-24T14:16:33.091-04:002012-05-24T14:16:33.091-04:00I'm somewhat curious about the names, Vadim so...I'm somewhat curious about the names, Vadim sounds more Russian than Turkish, how did you come up with it?<br /><br />anzuazura at yahoo dot deLana Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897520311055204982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763664719710458192.post-17535121076612814052012-05-24T13:19:13.965-04:002012-05-24T13:19:13.965-04:00Hi Debra Jayne,
