Help[Opinions] Re: Wilhelm, Nikolaus or Klaus?
in reply to a message by Stephanie
Hmmm...I think Wilhelm and Anika sound nicest together, but I'm not loving Wilhelm with Harlow, I think it's a bit too much "l" and "h", and they are both two-syllable names with the stress on the first syllable, so they don't flow easily for me. That wouldn't stop me using it if I really love the name. Anika has three syllables and the sounds are different enough from Harlow that they flow alright together. Visually, Nikolaus shares "nik" with Anika and English-speakers will probably pronounce them the same way; not sure if the surname indicates an English-speaking setting. So, I would choose Klaus and Anika.

Thanks, I think you're right and I think I'll go with Klaus and Anika then. :D
I guess the only think I really wonder with those two is if they should be nicknames for bigger names (hence why I considered Nikolaus...), at least for Anika, I think Klaus can stand on it's own at any age... I'm not sure about Anika though... xD
