How to say thanks in every European language

My grandpa‘s name was Janez, my dad‘s name is Ivan, and I named my favourite childhood teddy Johann. I seem to have a preference lol

Despite my dad‘s legal name being Ivan, nobody calls him that. He‘s Janez to his siblings and older relatives, Jani to the younger.

Always found it funny how in my native Slavic country you can have multiple names at the same time, because.. they‘re one name. Got named Aleksander? Congrats, you‘re automatically Saša (Sascha etc.) as well.

Another native (kinda) Swiss-German speaker here. You might have just solved a mystery of my childhood. Always wondered why my mom‘s friend ‚Jörg‘ was nicknamed ‚Gögu‘. Georg makes it make a bit more sense.
