The Sound of Music was based on the real Von Trapp family, and I thought it’d be fun to compare their names in the film with the original! What do you think?
Original siblings:
Maria
Rupert
Agathe
Werner
Hedwig
Johanna
Martina
Rosmarie (younger half sibling of the others)
Eleonore (younger half sibling of the others)
Johannes (younger half sibling of the others)

Movie siblings:
Liesl
Friedrich
Louisa
Kurt
Brigitta
Marta
Gretl

All together I like Maria, Johanna, Rosmarie, Liesl, Louisa, Brigitta, and Gretl (though Gretel would be a better spelling.) Comparing I'd prefer Maria to Liesl, Rupert to Friedrich, Louisa to Agathe, Kurt to Werner, Brigitta to Hedwig, Johanna to Marta and Gretl to Martina.

Real life: I like
Maria; Rupprecht, though Rupert is all right; Werner; Johanna; Rosmarie, though not with Maria, and I wouldn't use Johannes and Johanna together either; Eleonore is fine in German
Movie sibs: I like
Liesl; Brigitta
