My name is Iulian HARPA and I'm from Romania. My surname actualy is not common one, in my country but my fisrt name is. Iulian is comming from history a roman emperor/caesar (Caius Julius Caesar). Commone surnames are: Ionescu, Popescu, Petrescu ....and common first name is Ion, Maria, Mircea, Ioana , Andrei, Stefan and so on.
My family name could from Rusia (Harpov) and also from Hungary (Arpad) but my family is Romanian. HARPA is a musical tool, a "harp" in English.

In my country we use in a dialogue first name only if that person in a close friends or if is young. Concerning the affection name there are a lot of but the most used is "iubit(a), darling in English.

Iulian.

Hello. My name is Vanessa. My name was not very common but nowadays is. When I was a child, I didn't know anyone but, as I grew up, I met some Vanessas. Actually, my best friend is named Vanessa, with two S, because there are ones called Vanesa, and I hate that. The origin of the name is an opera, the writer gave the character (sorry, I don't know if it's the right word) the name of a butterfly. I'm from Spain and we have two surnames, one of each parent. So my surnames are López from my father and García from my mother. They are very common surnames. López means "the son of" Lope, all spanish surnames finish by Z means so. I don't know what García means. So my surnames don't say anything about my family. In fact, I know another Vanessa López García. And I know there are more because sometimes, when I go to the doctors, they ask me about their illness.

Hello! I have tried to find someone with the same name but was impossible. On the internet I find two persons with the same surname "Harpa" in Romania. It is not a very common name. My first name is more common than my surname, but nobody on these web-pages has not my name "Iulian". Relating my genealogy, the father of my grand father was lived in Romania and that is all I know.

I saw that a lot of people discuss about their name and their countries. This could be a good start for a dialogue between us.

All my best.

Private investigators

Hello! My name is Iulian and I am leaving in Romania (Bucharest). I had never employed a private investigator because I have not any reasons to do that. Sometimes I would like to have some kind of job because I think it is very exciting.
I am working in audit and it is a very nice job from my point of view. It is not strange but is interesting to have a lot of audit engagements during the year. Sometimes is not easy at all to discuss with the employees about their mistakes but this challenge me.
Sometimes we have special engagements (when an employee made a complain about the business process) end the auditors have to make an inquire in order to clarify that. So we are sometimes like investigators.
