Re: Some "new" additions to the German naming pool
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
By chance, could any of these names belong to say, the children of American service members stationed in Germany?

I honestly don't know. They didn't mention anything along those lines.
Then again, I'm not even sure if American military members would have to register their children with a German civil registry office (the article explicitly states that they went straight to the "authorities". So no BAs, hospital announcements or the like but the real deal if you so will).
You've made me curious, though: do American service members stationed abroad have to register their kids with the local civil registry offices/offices of vital statistics? Does anyone happen to know?
