I am an older bride, and am so afraid I won´t find a name for a baby girl we both like-read details?

Question

My husband is German, and all of the names I like, when he says them with German dialect, sound odd.

What should I do?

Answer 1

My grandmother had this problem. She was going to name my Dad 'Arthur', but my grandfather pronounced it 'artur.' So, it became his middle name and he got James instead.

There are THOUSANDS of baby girl names. I'm sure you will find something that slides off his tongue in an interesting way. I have to deal with a guy who says "sennance." Apparently, by his way of speaking, there are no 't's in the middle of words.

Answer 2

Maybe try looking for a few German names, you know, balance your options, see what you like that he can pronounce.

If not, and you have your heart set on a name he can't pronounce, why not give your baby girl a nickname he CAN pronounce?

Answer 3

Try Danielle. It is Daniella (pronounced Danyayla) in German. Very pretty.

Answer 4

go to a site like behindthename.com and go under the german section and find a name that you like. tell him you'll pick a german name...if you pick what name that is. A couply I like are Alexandra, abigale, amalia, ava, chriatianne......the list goes on and on. Hope this helps!

The names will sound differently when someone else says them so keep that in mind.
