  1. You really don’t know why are so many Romanians named Ovidiu or Virgiliu even if they and their parents never read a line of their poetry?
    Because this names and other (Cezar, Valeriu, Octavian etc.) can not be translated in Hungarian language, and this is a form of resisting 50 years of forced Magyarization.

    • is that the reason why the rest of the country too named their sons ovidiu and virgil? or i am wrong and they all read poetry.

      • @peti
        as you well know many of the inhabitants of Transilvania moved in the other parts of Romania, taking with them their traditions; beside this is quite common in Romania to name your child born in Huși or Oltenita after their grandfather Ovidiu form Gherla.

  2. Good one Sam!
