[Opinions] Re: Friedlieb
in reply to a message by Shaymin
In reality, it's called Freedleeb; one of the many rather bulky German FN's,
which by the way are totally old-fashioned and are no longer used at all.
Similar examples are e.g. Diethard, Siegbert, Gottlieb, Fürchtegott, Engelhart, Reynnhart, Burckhart, Diettrich, Sewolt, Auberlin, Seyfridt, Krafft, Veyt, Baldur, Jost, Eckhart, Bertholdt, Oßwalt, Ewalt, Seitz, Clewin, Schultheiß, Wernhart ...

I have never seen Reynnhart. I have seen Reinhardt and Reinhart. Baldur is Scandinavian name and I have never seen this used in Germany, even among older generations. Not considered old fashioned or bulky in say, Sweden or Norway. It is unusual but I have seen it used in those countries.
Clewin is interesting...
It is really irrelevant to me if it is old fashioned or not used at all in Germany.
