Re: Tannenbaum
Sorry, but if the boy should ever go to a german
speaking country they will all joke about him
cos Tannenbaum is the german word for fir tree.
The song "oh christmas tree" is in german
"oh tannenbaum"
I wouldn't think it's fair to let a child bear such
a name.

Well, people name thier children Aspen and Fir and Maple and Evergreen, Tannenbaum is no different really. Beside that, it would be the middlename, not the first. No one would know his middle name unless he told them.

Yes, except they read it loudly at student meetings
what they often do and everybody is laughing about him.
I wouldn't do it. I also do not know anyone
named Fir or Maple or Evergreen.
