I looked up the names list.

 

Belize - sounds like a dancer

 

Estonia - always reminds me of Elbonia from Dilbert comic strip

 

Gambia - sounds like name of a casino

 

Holy See - yeah, that's a name. Vatican City is the capital. Guess what bitchez, Latin is the official language

 

Hungary - who doesn't think of food when this name comes up

 

Lesotho - lebanese-mexican dish ?

 

Palau - that rice dish ?

I was talking about which name sounds cool.  Besides, the whole bride kidnapping custom thing makes me not a fan of the Kyrghizy, cool clan name aside. 

I didn't know about the bride kidnapping custom. I was just looking the list of nations for fancy sounding names.

 

Things ICF teaches you!

That's like saying maachis for matches.  Or Poolis for Police - i.e. doesn't seem to be a 'Telugu' word, but a co-opted English word.

That's like saying words like jungle, bandicoot are not English word.

Many words in many languages have foreign origins but make their own, we don't have to keep distinguishing that.
