names of note

It is a Turkish fad to name your child after an element of nature.  I have students named: Rain, Soil, Hill, Summit, Nature, Rose, Flower, Blossom, Storm/Squall/Hurricane, Bay, Sea, River, Light, Moon.  Other names literally translate into:  Triumph, Hope, Clear, Free, Achieved, Hero, Gladness, Glory, Coy, Scent.

The names in Turkish sound lovely, but the English equivalent, naming your son "Hero" and your daughter "Rain" . . . is interesting.
