Wise Eagle Khan, the Content Warrior

As I received the happy news of the marriage of one of my best friends Umut Ozek , I have reconsidered the name I will give to my son. I'll name him, Bilgehan Kartal Toker, after the mighty and wise Gokturk khan Bilgehan and the symbol of my club the eagle. I am sure my son will thank his dad for giving him a cool name like this, which translates into "Wise Eagle Khan, the Content Warrior" with the surname!
