German Baby Name

[GermanBabyInEngland]

Hello,

My husband and I just found out that we are expecting. I know it's very early days but I am cautiously getting excited.

He is English and I'm from
Germany. The baby will grow up bilingually.

We have family in Germany and ideally I'd like a name that has the same or very similar proboinciation in both languages. Does anyone have any suggestions? It's really hard to think of anything but I'd really like them
To have a name that both set of grandparents etc will find easy to use.

Thank you!

Love the name Hannes - I know one raised in England who never had any problems with pronunciation.

Can only think of boys names:
Benno
Tom
Johann
Otto

I think Mareike for a girl is lovely.

Or Maren, actually

German friends and their children are Max, Zacharius/Zach, Lucas, Sebastian, Felix and Hannah/Hanna, Emilia, Freida, Erika, Katarina and Sabrina.

Same situation here, and we went with Hannah and Emily for DDs (rejecting our first choice Rachel as it didn't fit the criteria!)

Lola, Emily, Annie, Emma, Klara,

Felix, Freddie, Markus, Florian, Sebastian

Otto!
