It's a common variation, especially in the UK.

Yep. In the UK, it's almost always Lewis (I knew maybe a dozen growing up, but knew 0 people named Louis). In Britain, "Louis" is pronounced the French way (loo-ee).

Nice quiz. Was stuck on Guido until I remembered being shown Guy Fawkes's signature on his forced confession back in school. Haunted me as a kid.

You should accept Jacob in place of James!

Seconded. Given that Jacob and James come from the same root and are both common names in English, I think both should be accepted.

yes I also agree. Both James and Jacob are English variations on the original Hebrew name

But there is a different translation for Jacob in Italian: "Giacobbe" (sometimes shortened to "Giobbe").

That's interesting, I've heard "Iacopo", never came across "Giacobbe".

Jacopo, sometimes also spelled iacopo, (both pronounced Yakopo), is a quite popular name in Italy, while Giacobbe is not. However, both are translations of Jacob.

Jacopo is how we say Jacob in Italian.

Whether we'd rather use the German or French version is a perennial problem in English, but I would definitely agree that Charles is the *more* common variant... perhaps accepting both would be better.

Charles is definitely more English than Carl. Or Karl. Or Carlos.

I'm not suggesting this an alternative answer, but it's interesting that many (maybe even most?) Italian immigrants to the USA named Vincenzo actually went by James rather than Vincent. Since the stress in Vincenzo is on the second syllable (pronounced "chen") rather than the first, as it is with Vincent in English, this isn't as surprising as it may seem. To be more technical, /vinˈt͡ʃɛn.t͡so/ is quite close to /d͡ʒeɪmz/ when you drop or reduce unstressed vowels, as in many varieties of Italian.

As a "Vincenzo" that's quite understandable. Our name has bit of weird spelling as well, it's funny to hear my friends trying to pronounce it, specially Koreans, they say Bing-Cheng-Zhou :)

It's a beautiful name however, I'm grateful to my parents for it.

I guessed 'Jacob' for 'Giacomo'. Was very surprised to learn what it actually was.

Jacob in Italian is translated as Jacopo or Giacobbe.

Isn't Ludwig a German name? I think Louis from French is the English equivalent.

It's the English that has corrupted it, it's from the Latin Iacomus (itself from the Hebrew Jacob). Other translations retain a /k/ or /g/ sound, like Jacques, but English has lost it.
