Help[Opinions] Re: Names for a Jewish central/east European woman from the 1920s
in reply to a message by Arialblack
I recently spent some time studying in the Czech Republic and studied Franz Kafka's relationship with his family, he was particularly fond of his sister Ottla (full name Ottilia), but also had sisters named Gabriele (Gabriela) and Valerie (Valeria).
In visiting Jewish cemeteries in Central Europe I found that most 20th century Jewish people had similar names to anyone else in the country, you were more likely to find a Karel than a Simeon.
Some suggestions:
Magda
Olga
Anna
Zuzana
Viktoria
Margarete / Greta
Klara
Marie / Maria
Sofia
