1. Here in Greece I live, the surname Papadopoulos is very common and popular.
2. No, my family's name isn't common...on the contrary, I'd say that is very rare.
3. I don't think so.
4. No, my name doesn't mean anything in my country. Yes, there are other names in Greece that refer to trades or professions or anything else...
5. No, we haven't any names common in other countries. You can meet this only about first names.
6. When I meet someone in my country, I;m introduced with my first name Kostas. I know what is the first name and the surname here in Greece because there is a difference between them.
7. Yes. I can use a surname without a title if the person is a close friend of mine or a colleague. It's very simple! Because these persons are friends of mine.
8. In my language, in Greek, we usually use common pet names like English such as honey, darling, dear, love, baby, beautiful etc.
