[Opinions] Re: Usability
You can use Klaus. It's a name, and has been for centuries. I have no idea why Americans can happily put up with, as you say, Haizleigh and similar horrors but reject Klaus usw. Perhaps they don't! May I suggest that you ask some teachers of preschool children how they would respond to a list of names that you'd show them; not all of them German by any means. Then you'll at least have hard data to use.

That's a good idea. I just have heard local people make ridiculous comments to some college students that attend the University here and that's where I think my trepidation comes from. I'm not from the area originally and I try not to judge myself but there is definitely a feeling of small mindedness and inability to accept anything that feels foreign. But again if you can accept the crazy spellings and word names 🤷‍♀️
