Help[Opinions] Re: German names
in reply to a message by Britney
Have you considered Johanna, the German form of Jane?
Greta -- Lovely. I like Margarethe ("mar-gar-ETT-a") too.
Heidi -- Cute, but it's almost too cutesy to stand alone. It's short for Adelheid, but I that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Katharina -- Lovely.
Emilie -- Yes, it's popular. But I love its spunk.
Others:
Elsa, Anna, Anneliese ("anna-LEE-za")(nn Annelie), Beatrix, Maria (nn Mitzi), Charlotte (nn Lottie / Lotte), Wilhelmina (nn Willa, Billie, Mina, Minna), Zella, Lorelei, Amalia, Clara, Alix, Petra, Liesl, Marta, Melusine, Sabine, Renate, Emmeline, Roselinde.
Some of these might be more Scandinavian than German. Let the buyer beware.

A few more . . .
Shucks. I wasn't logged in.
Frieda, Franziska, Editha, Aloisa, Veronike, Trudy, Regine, Natalia, Monika, Mathilde, Lenore, Konstanze, Adriane.
Correction: Roselinde (from the original post) should be Rosalinde, according to my baby name book "From Aaron to Zoe." It's pretty accurate, as those books go.
