It’s an absolute nightmare, I love the name Elodie and always have done but dh hates it. He wants something that reflects his German heritage but can’t give me any names apart from his grandmothers name, we do also have a very German surname which I’m conscious of. I’ve said I’m happy for this as a middle name however I don’t like the name myself. We’ve already decided on Finn for a boy, which we both love.
TIA

My late dgm was German, my mum is half German and I’m a quarter German. My dgm died when I was 6 months pregnant with my dd who is now 13. I gave her dgm’s name as a middle name which is Albertine.

my mum told me a story when I was younger that if she had been born a boy she would have been called Wolfgang 🤣

I love then name Ottilie which is my great grandmother’s name but she was known as Ottie. Speaking to my mum about her visiting Germany as a child, meeting her cousins etc, most of them had very traditional German names but now they’re much more modern.

good luck with your name choosing and your new baby.

Oo I like Ottilie, I’ll suggest to dh.

I thought you meant as for some dialects frig is a very mild swear exclamation

It’s a mild swear like “wank” is a mild swear. You should not call your child “Wank” either.

A lot of these names are very old fashioned German names. Like calling your kid "Doreen" or something.
