Help[Opinions] Polish Names
I'm currently on placement in a small Catholic boys school and there are lots of Polish boys there (I live in an area with a large Polish community). I have come across boys called Wiktor, Dawid, Konrad, Kamil, Kasper and 3 of each of the names Mateusz and Bartek.
Do you like any Polish names?

I like all of those you listed to some extent.
I like a lot of Polish names. I've worked with Polish siblings named Barbara, Angelika, and Jakub. They also have younger sisters named Urszula and Veronica (might be Weronika, but she uses Veronica). Another girl I worked with from Poland's name is Joanna.
Some other favorites:
Agnieszka
Aniela
Beata
Ewa
Karolina
Katarzyna
Ksenia
Lucja
Malina
Malgorzata
Rozalia
Wioleta
Zofia/Zosia
Zoja
Anastazy
Andrzej
Arkadiusz
Dariusz
Henryk
Iwan
Iwo
Janusz
Karol
Kazimierz
Krzysztof
Jaromir
Lucasz
Marcin
Mariusz
Mateusz
Mikolaj
Pawel
Szymon

I do as it is part of my ancestry. Kamila is my favorite of the names to say the least.

I like a lot of Polish names. My favorites are Kornelia, Cecylia, and Eugenia for girls, and Kamil, Konrad, and Marcin for boys. I actually have a Polish friend named Kamil.

Well, I like a lot of Polish names, but I dislike the Polish spellings. For example I prefer Viktor over Wiktor, Matteus over Mateusz etc. Some that I do like:
Amelia
Ariadna
Celina
Halina
Ilona - a family name for me
Klara
Damian
Dominik
Edward
Emil
Filip
Gabriel
Joakim
Kasper - I see it as more Swedish than Polish though

It's a bit awkward looking but the W is pronounced with a V sound so Dawid becomes David and Wiktor is pronounced as Viktor. I learned this when I heard Wojtek Wolski's name being pronounced.

This is something that puts me off Polish names. Ws sound like Vs; Js kind of sound like Ys and the "sz" combination sounds a bit like "sh". For example Mateusz is pronounced like "mat-yoosh"
The most confusing pronunciation I've come across this week is Wojciech "VOY-chek"
