ideas for polish girl names

[CloudDragon]

We're trying to find a Polish girl's name that sounds good in both languages. Ania has already been used by my brother.

any ideas gratefully recieved!

[RustyBear]

Bronia?

I know a Polish Patricia, spelt Patrycja

[SweetnessAndShite]

I know it's terribly flippant but I so want to write "Glade"

Sorry, hope you find a lovely one :-)

[MoneyNoPockets]

Dita

Ela

Sara

[LynetteScavo]

There is a Julia, Gabriella, Nicola and Alycia in DD's class. Not sure if I've got the spelling right, though.

[oceryo]

Franciszka
Katarina
Lidia
Lila
Luisa
Marika
Zofia

[TheFallenMadonna]

I teach a Joanna. And a Magdalena. Natalya.

[duende]

if my DS was a girl ;) her name would be Zofia.
I love it.

also:

Hanna
Natalia?
Emilia
Zuzanna
Lucja

[skidoodly]

Anouk

[BridesheadRegardless]

Angela
Helena
both lovely both work in English and Polish

[Purplebuns]

Lucena, and I love Kasia

[winnybella]

Anouk is NOT a Polish name, skidoodly.

Neither are Dita and Katarina or Angela (it would be Angelika, but even that sounds horrible, see Nicola below).

Nicola/ Nikola is very chavvy (in Polish). Please don't.

Franciszka and Bronia (full name: Bronislawa) are very old-fashioned, but not in a good way iyswim

Lucyna, not Lucena. V.nice.

Duende's suggestions are v.good. Have to run now but will think about others.

[FranSanDisco]

Edyta.

[MoneyNoPockets]

Winnybella i suggest you tell them that Dita is not a polish name.

[MoneyNoPockets]

These people

[Psammead]

I knew a Polish Anna. Simple and international.

[QueenMuvva]

Wioleta (Vee-oh-letta). Lovely name.

[alarkaspree]

Sosia is lovely. The pronounciation won't be obvious to English-speakers though.

[lal123]

Kasia (pronounced Kasha) - though think it may be chavvy in Polish too - but who cares? Its a lovely name

Maia is spelt Maja in Polich, its also Gaelic for Mary and Arabic for Warer apparently

[duende]

Kasia's not chavvy lal123, it's an old name, short for Katarzyna.

my name, too

[CallSignCharlie]

Ola
Natalya / Natalia
Weronika

[winnybella]

MoneyNoPockets- aah, yes, Dyta- very rare...but definitely not Dita- sounds v.pretentious in Polish, although foreign spellings are used sometimes...but it's like with Nicola...sounds really horrible.

Zosia ie Zofia- it's very nice, I agree.

[winnybella]

Ola is a diminiutive of Aleksandra, so another good choice, as easy to pronounce and a lovely name for a little girl.

[Purplebuns]

My Aunt is Lucena, Kasia is my Dsis middle name, I also have a Renata, Krystyna, Lidia, Irena and Danute in my family.

[winnybella]

Purplebuns- you mean Lucyna and Danuta?
