Help[Opinions] Re: BAs from Germany... (long)
in reply to a message by Anthroponomastics
Actually, both Richard and Albert are traditional German names. They are common English names too which is probably why they do not strike you as German names ;)

I have an uncle Albert on my German side of my family...we don't have any purely German Richards though...my grandfather is Richard, and although his mother was purely German his father was Scotch-Irish, and I don't think there were any Richards in his mothers family (though they did have a Percy, highly unusual for Germans).
