Help[Opinions] Re: German family with 8 kids
in reply to a message by Delphi_Blue
I'm pretty sure Freiderike is either Frederike or Friederike. I lived in Germany and met several girls with both names. Mariechen is probably a nickname for Marie or Maria. -chen is something that makes a name cute and is usually attached to the full name, it sounds more affectionate. Kind of like -ita is attached in Spanish speaking countries.
Joschi may be short for Joshua or Joscha.
The only one I like is Marie (if that's the full name).

I'm not sure re: full names vs nicknames, but I am 100% sure of the spellings of the names I listed, given that they were in a written advert. So Freiderike is spelt this way for sure.
