in reply to a message by Chaka
I like...
Victor Joachim
Werner
Mia Giuseppina (And why would someone with such a strong, old German name choose an Italian one...unless the father was.)
Cornelia Katharina (I absolutely adore Cornelia!)
Lena Renate
Monika Margareta
Angela
Sophie
Isabella
Alexander Anton
Rachel Amy
Martin Leonhard
Karolina
Olga
Sophia Ivonne
Alexandra Renate
Robert Johann
Theresa Margareta
Josefine Sophie
Virginia Helga (I like this combo a lot...but Virginia isn't even a German name! Perhaps it was used because of the Roman connection, or because they've been to the states)
Erwin Peter
Emilia Maria Elisabeth
Jürgen Roland
Jan Tobias
Manfred
Patrick Helmut
Felix
Elias Josef
Thomas Alfons
Lukas Siegfried
Tobias Alfred
Leopold Jonathan Sebastian (I love to see Leopold...I've loved it ever since I saw Kate and Leopold)
Heike Alexandra
Matthias Karl-Heinz
Philip Andreas
Diane Elisabeth
Korbinian
Winfried (I didn't even know Winfried was a name!)
Sebastian Franz
Alexandra
Barbara Edeltraut
Emil Johannes
Judith Angela
Artur Alexander
Felix
Kerstin Adelheid (Kerstin's my German teacher's name...Adelheid is a family name. I like to see good German names like this, no matter the age)
Mark
Tim Georg Thorsten
Christian
Manfred (I can't say that I see any Manfreds now)
Olga
Victor
Fabian
Victor Joachim
Werner
Mia Giuseppina (And why would someone with such a strong, old German name choose an Italian one...unless the father was.)

As for "but Virginia isn't even a German name! Perhaps it was used because of the Roman connection, or because they've been to the states"
There are a lot of English and American names used in Germany. Especially the 1990's were the "decade of English names" like Kevin, Mavin, Dustin, Marlon, John and Justin for the boys, Vanessa, Jennifer, Jessica, Eileen, Vivien, Kimberly for the girls. Just to name a few examples.
Followed by French names such as Marcel, René, Yannick, Pascal, Maurice and Marie, Michelle, Nadine, Jacqueline, Caroline, Nathalie, Sophie, Celine, Chantal, etc.
The usage of "traditional German" names is a relatively recent habit (started maybe ten, maybe five years ago). I find it refreshing to see names like Korbinian and Leopold on little kids ;-)
Edited to say: Nowadays it's rather Scandinavian names. Plus some Italian names (still) and some English names (Tyler and Jamie are quite popular as far as I know)
