We're trying to find a Polish girl's name that sounds good in both languages. Ania has already been used by my brother.

any ideas gratefully recieved!

Bronia?

I know a Polish Patricia, spelt Patrycja

SweetnessAndShite · 03/05/2010 17:07

I know it's terribly flippant but I so want to write "Glade"

Sorry, hope you find a lovely one :-)

Ela

There is a Julia, Gabriella, Nicola and Alycia in DD's class. Not sure if I've got the spelling right, though.

BridesheadRegardless · 03/05/2010 18:16

Angela
Helena
both lovely both work in English and Polish

Purplebuns · 03/05/2010 18:18

Lucena, and I love Kasia

winnybella · 03/05/2010 18:33

Anouk is NOT a Polish name, skidoodly.

Neither are Dita and Katarina or Angela (it would be Angelika, but even that sounds horrible, see Nicola below).

Nicola/ Nikola is very chavvy (in Polish). Please don't.

Franciszka and Bronia (full name: Bronislawa) are very old-fashioned, but not in a good way iyswim

Lucyna, not Lucena. V.nice.

Duende's suggestions are v.good. Have to run now but will think about others.

FranSanDisco · 03/05/2010 18:36

Edyta.

MoneyNoPockets · 03/05/2010 20:08

Winnybella i suggest you tell them that Dita is not a polish name.

MoneyNoPockets · 03/05/2010 20:09

These people

Psammead · 03/05/2010 20:10

I knew a Polish Anna. Simple and international.

QueenMuvva · 03/05/2010 20:12

Wioleta (Vee-oh-letta). Lovely name.

alarkaspree · 03/05/2010 20:13

Sosia is lovely. The pronounciation won't be obvious to English-speakers though.

lal123 · 03/05/2010 20:17

Kasia (pronounced Kasha) - though think it may be chavvy in Polish too - but who cares? Its a lovely name

Maia is spelt Maja in Polich, its also Gaelic for Mary and Arabic for Warer apparently

duende · 03/05/2010 20:18

Kasia's not chavvy lal123, it's an old name, short for Katarzyna.

my name, too

CallSignCharlie · 03/05/2010 20:19

Ola
Natalya / Natalia
Weronika

winnybella · 03/05/2010 20:20

MoneyNoPockets- aah, yes, Dyta- very rare...but definitely not Dita- sounds v.pretentious in Polish, although foreign spellings are used sometimes...but it's like with Nicola...sounds really horrible.

Zosia ie Zofia- it's very nice, I agree.

winnybella · 03/05/2010 20:23

Ola is a diminiutive of Aleksandra, so another good choice, as easy to pronounce and a lovely name for a little girl.

Purplebuns · 03/05/2010 20:25

My Aunt is Lucena, Kasia is my Dsis middle name, I also have a Renata, Krystyna, Lidia, Irena and Danute in my family.

winnybella · 03/05/2010 20:27

Purplebuns- you mean Lucyna and Danuta?
