DP is Polish, and we would like a Polish name. The only one we can agree on is kazimierz, but I think this might be too difficult for most people to pronounce!

There are a few that are ruled out because of family, but ideas gratefully received!

I think that sounds like a nice name. I'm not polish so all I'm here to say is, I don't think its too difficult, just a little unusual

My kids (primary school) are friendly with an Alan, Adam, Kacper, Gabriel and my favourite boys name of all time Grin Dominik. I think your original choice is grand, go with what you love.

I've always really liked Lukasz.
I'm not polish, it's just a good sounding name.

I love the Polish version of Jacob, whose spelling escapes me just now!

We know Patrik and Filip.

Jakub - Kuba

People will get used to it. If you love it then use it.

You can always use an easier to pronounce nickname as well

I don't think Kazimierz is too difficult to pronounce, once shown how.

Lots of names like Siobhan, Aoife etc are much harder and people manage.

Stick with the name you love!

Konrad is an easy one pronounciation-wise? Classic boys name with the polish spelling.

Love all the ones suggested, too.

I love Kazimierz and was going to suggest Casimir if you'd consider an anglicised spelling.
