Such beautiful names...
in reply to a message by JHK
Germans used to be so good with their naming.
Personally, I like all of these, especially...
Elfriede
Johanna
Maria - I highly doubt this is as popular as it once was.
Kurt - my dad's name...he was named after a German relative
Hans
Peter
Ludwig - I wish there were more Ludwigs
Wolfgang - another family name.Thanks for starting with the German obits...gives you a clearer message as to how Germans were and how they are now in naming.
