HelpRe: German Names
in reply to a message by LuzDeTuVida
I've seen both Heideliese / Heidelise (Heidi + Liese) and Greteliese / Gretelise (Gretel + Liese) - either of those appeal? I adore both of them lol.
I love Adelheid "Heidi" and would absolutely squee to see it used. It's gorgeous!
I love Annika, but I see the bird, egret, in Annegret and that makes it unappealing. I do think they're both too close to Anneliese (which is also gorgeous, for the record).
To spruik some of my favourites that are in the database, but might have been overlooked, what about:
Brigitta
Christiane
Dietlinde
Eleonore
Hannelore (I would use this in a heartbeat if I thought my family wouldn't look at me funny!)
Leonore
Lieselotte / Liselotte (this too)
Lisbeth
Marlis
Rosemarie
Sanne / Sanna
Swanhild (ok, ok, I know no one is going to use this. But it's so cute!)
Sieglinde
Tatjana
Anything appeal?

You gave some wonderful suggestions. Gretelise nn Gretel I'm now considering. Christianne is actually one of my default mns. Glad to see Christiane is a German name. You should definitely use Hannelore! I don't think it's too out there at all. I would use it except I hate the name Hannah. But Hannelore I can really appreciate. Dietlinde, Leiselotte and Marlis are very pretty. I actually have a friend named Rosemary and a friend with the nn Lisbeth. And I've always been a fan of Tatiana. I actually know a girl who wants to name her daughter Leisel. Doesn't that make you so happy?
