German Names

[Chocolocolate]

Can anyone suggest any good German names. Boys & Girls.

Anneliese (said Annalisa)

Bear in mind anything which sounds like an "a" ending to our ears is very probably actually an "e" and to German ears often sounds like a rather unattractive "uh".

So for instance "Charlotte" probably sounds to English ears like "charlotta " but to German ears like "charlott-uh"

A small point and irrelevant if you're in the uk, but it affected the names that we were happy to go with.

Also think about difference in pronunciation generally. I didn't want to DC to have something pronounced differently in each language - confusing when you're not sure whether to introduce yourself as English "Caroline" or "Caro-leenuh"

Case in point mypropertea

Annelise is probably pronounced Ann-uh-lees-uh. It sounds like Annaleeza to English ears but it really isn't that at all.
