Re: English opinion on German names
in reply to a message by tibby
That's funny, because I've never heard someone in America refer to Germans as "the Fritz". I'm guessing that is more outdated slang. Same goes for Willi/Willie/Willy. Technically, it can be slang for 🍆, but I've never actually heard someone use it and it wouldn't be weird if it was someone's name.

That's good to know. Several times parents have been really insecure about Willi as a given name ...
