Well, some names are just international, like Anna or Anne, Hanna(h), Marie, Maria, Julia, Christine, Kathrin, Anita, Andrea, Eva, Linda, Sarah, Nicole, Pamela, Claudia, Ester, Vanessa, Lisa, Barbara, Alexandra, Elisabeth... They are written exactly the same, but of course pronounced in German. Than there are the ones that are very similar to English names, but a little different in spelling, like Johanna, Susanne, Gabriele, Franziska (basically Franceen), Rosemarie, Erika, Monika, Carolin(e), Annemarie, Annerose, Brigitte, Nadine, Patrizia, Dorothea... And than there are the ones that are "truly" German (IMHO, since I don't know if they have any other roots), such as Birgit, Sabine, Marion, Renate, Katharina, Cornelia, Heike, Martina, Mareike, Anke, Antje, Ilona, Imke, Jana, Katja,Lena, Manuela, Nora, Pia, Simone, Hildegard, ... Puh, I can't think of any more, though there are plenty. I mean, there are the completely old and goofy names, like Heidemarie, Kunnigunde, Gertrude, Brunhilde,... Oh, and one more thing: Gretchen, while being a correct German grammar form, is not a name in Germany. It is the endearing form of names strating with either Gret- or Gert-, and is mostly not used anymore at all. Oh, and I know absolutely no other German girl (other than Heidi Klum, that is) whose name is Heidi. I know by far more girls called Steffi (from Stefanie), Julia, Eva, Sabine, Anne, Christina...
