PRENUMELE ROMÂN – ÎNTRE MODĂ ŞI TRADIŢIE
(ROMANIAN) CHRISTIAN NAME – BETWEEN FASHION AND TRADITION

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the inter-connection between fashion and tradition focusing on a special aspect of the Romanians who live in France – the Christian names of the new born in Diaspora. Our research has as a focal point the flexibility to the new conditions and investigates the manner the Romanians respect their tradition or adapt (even in baptizing their children with French names) to the new country. After an investigation in the Romanian community in Paris, our conclusion is that what can be depicting as modernity in the Christian names in Romania, in Diaspora is seen as tradition.
