[Opinions] Re: Wilhelm, Nikolaus or Klaus?
in reply to a message by Stephanie
I think Klaus and Anika fit nicely.
Given the surname Harlow is English I'll assume picking a name that works in English but has similar origins to the first names might apply in the middle.
Klaus Adrian
Klaus Martin
Klaus Alexander
Klaus Oliver
Klaus Walter
Klaus Peter
Klaus Gabriel
Klaus Christian
Anika Charlotte
Anika Iris
Anika Dorothea
Anika Elise
Anika Irene
Anika Caroline / Karoline
Anika Kristine
Anika Lucia
Anika Therese

I never really thought about the surname being English, but you're right, I like the idea of it bridging the gap.
Anyways, I'm kinda going back and forth between Wilhelm and Klaus, as Wilhelm sticks with the original "theme" I was going for (German/Swedish forms of "traditional" English names -- Anna and William respectively) and I love the association with the brothers Grimm but at the same time doesn't fit the character as well nor do the nicknames for it.
And Klaus fits better but doesn't really go with the theme (but it's familiar enough so it'd be okay) plus there are already a lot of Klaus's in fiction...
Idk, sorry for rambling and thanks for the input. I definitely think I'll go with Klaus Alexander if I stick with Klaus. :)
