Germanic names

[rosieposies]

Actually posting for a friend - DH is German and they both love nature, no idea what sex. Both very hippy and a bit 'out there'. They've previously considered Myrtle, Cosmo, Leif and Wolfe but all had to be ruled out.

Help!

Romy and Nixie for a girl
Florian and Brock for a boy

Otto

I'm also interested as have strong links to Germany but can't find any names dp and I agree on! I love Freda, Leni, Gretchen, Winifred

Boys are more difficult, I'm not brave enough for any of the reallt out there ones, I like Eric, Leon, Emil, Frank

Gisela, Heide, Romy, Lorelei, Matilda, Rosamund.

Aldo, Max, Alaric, Bero.

I am German and have gone for German names. As I've not NC I won't put them in but generally the names of my school friends were:
Ines (she had a Spanish dsd) so maybe it doesn't count!)
Kristina
Ursula (Uschi)
Silke
Alex
Fabian
Florian
Thorsten
Henning
Bastian
Thomas
Konrad
Ellen
Hanna
Lisa
Bettina
Stefanie

Wolfgang
Dieter
Ludovic
Oskar
Heidi
Henning
Albrecht
Nikolas
Christophe
Marten
Marthe

Most of these names are incredibly old fashioned and would sound silly on a child today!

Best to look at current top 100 names in Germany. You'll find lots of similar names as the UK. Top names include Ben, Finn, Noah, Emilia, Ella etc.

I love Silke. Such a pretty name.

German lad I know who has equally hippy dippy parents (!) is called Merlin.
