When you think about it

---

A lot of names are actually made up. I mean, we didn't just arrive here with names ready to go, someone had to think of them and take from existing words first.

Well someone in history, I am certain, did invent the name, but combining names like Anne and Elisabeth (Liese), or Anne and Margaret (Grete) is hardly unimaginable as they are two classics. Combining a classic with an unusual name would moreso give me the affect of undesireable inventedness, e.g. Anzenobia (Anne and Zenobia), or two unusuals, e.g. Eurydzenobia (Eurydice and Zenobia), but Annegret seems a perfectly appealing and legitimate marriage to me.

German names can be relatively harsh to some ears, but occasionally they do come up with a winner.
