  6. I had a roommate from Hamburg, Germany. Her name was Hanni (pronounced Honey) and her mom was Crystal (dont know the german spelling) but everyone loved her name!  

  7. Well, some names are just international, like Anna or Anne, Hanna(h), Marie, Maria, Julia, Christine, Kathrin, Anita, Andrea, Eva, Linda, Sarah, Nicole, Pamela, Claudia, Ester, Vanessa, Lisa, Barbara, Alexandra, Elisabeth... They are written exactly the same, but of course pronounced in German.

    Than there are the ones that are very similar to English names, but a little different in spelling, like Johanna, Susanne, Gabriele, Franziska (basically Franceen), Rosemarie, Erika, Monika, Carolin(e), Annemarie, Annerose, Brigitte, Nadine, Patrizia, Dorothea...

    And than there are the ones that are "truly" German (IMHO, since I don't know if they have any other roots), such as Birgit, Sabine, Marion, Renate, Katharina, Cornelia, Heike, Martina, Mareike, Anke, Antje, Ilona, Imke, Jana, Katja,Lena, Manuela, Nora, Pia, Simone, Hildegard, ...

    Puh, I can't think of any more, though there are plenty. I mean, there are the completely old and goofy names, like Heidemarie, Kunnigunde, Gertrude, Brunhilde,...

    Oh, and one more thing: Gretchen, while being a correct German grammar form, is not a name in Germany. It is the endearing form of names strating with either Gret- or Gert-, and is mostly not used anymore at all.

    Oh, and I know absolutely no other German girl (other than Heidi Klum, that is) whose name is Heidi. I know by far more girls called Steffi (from Stefanie), Julia, Eva, Sabine, Anne, Christina...

  8. Take a proper look at the link I sent you.. there you can see the changes in Germany over the years.. it goes back to the late Victorian times and what names were popular in Germany then.. and it goes up to 2007 and you will see that with each decade or every 5 years.. new names got added which the Germans did not have as names before and all those names we consider as ''German names'' often derive in reality from the latin.. there are not many purely German names...you will see how restricted the name choice in Germany was at the beginning of the last century and if you look and compare with the list of 2007 you will see that now Germans are allowed to pretty much use all the names which are used worldwide.. with the exception that if a first name is an unisex baby name.. then a second (a middle name) has to clearly state if this is a girl or a boy.. for example the name Cameron is unisex and can be used for boys and girls.. in Germany you would have to give a middle name which makes it clear if Cameron is a girl or a boy.  or the name ''Drew'' it could be a girl or a boy.. so a middle name has to make it clear whereas in U.S.A or the UK they don't have to do that.. Drew Barrymore.. or Drew short for Andrew..

    Germany thankfully accepts now names from most other countries around the world as you can see from the most popular German name list of last year....

    See the names Vanessa etc are not German names but we adapted them.. even Claudia is not a typically German name. and my name is Vera Gabriele. Vera is a Russian name it is the Russian form of Verity.. and it is a very old fashioned name.. everyone over 80 has an aunt Vera also in the UK.. and Canada where I now live. and my middle name is Gabriele .. that too, is not typically Germanic.. it is the female form of the name of the Archangel Gabriel xx Most names come from the latin or elsewhere and have done for a long time in Germany...
