Re: Which German diminutive?
About a year or so ago, Adelheid nn Heidi was one of my favorite names. I thought Heidi was so, so sweet.Now, I still like both Adelheid and Heidi, but they've been put on the backburner for a time. They've lost some of their dazzle and luster over time, for me.Gretchen is a name that I used to think was extremely ugly and "nerdy", but lately it's actually grown on me a lot. I'm not even sure why, but this name that used to remind me of guttural retching suddenly sounds sweetly fairytale-like to my ears. Right now I prefer Gretchen to Heidi, but both are very nice names.
