[Opinions] Siegfried?
I'm really loving Siegfried lately. I also like the mn Wolfram for it, but I'm not entirely sure (the disease, the repeated "fr")... WDYT?

I only think of the Wagner opera. Which is not a bad thing. But it does make it super adventurer dragon slayer man, which seems a bit over the top for use in real life. Wolfram has a very similar feel, but is a little more toned down. Siegfried Wolfram is totally epic, but I think it's a little too... rocky for real life use. It's awkward to say too, going from -freet to volf-, but probably because I'm not German. :)

I adore both Siegfried and Wolfram; however, I think they're way too much paired together.

I LUUUURV Siegfried! "All Creatures Great and Small" has two characters in it, brothers. They are named Siegfried and Tristan. Their parents were Wagner opera fans. I got used to the name Siegfried from it and began to love the heaviness of it. Poet Siegfried Sassoon (sp?) helped too.I'm a big fan of Wolfram too. Wolf dressed up in German clothing is just fine by me. :-)Siegfried Wolfram? This breaks so many of my preferences for a combination. Both names are from the same ethnic background so it seems a little too easy that way. Plus, the flow isn't the best as they both have two syllables with the emphasis on the same syllable. And you've already pointed out the "fr" issue. What do I think of the combination, you ask? I absolutely love it. The heck with my "rules." It's so gutsy and the change of pace is very welcome. If the "fr" thing bothers you there's always Siegfried Wolf / Wolfe. Thanks for recharging the batteries. :-)
