Re: Swiss Names
in reply to a message by Rebecca
I 'm Swiss, and a lot of names do come from German and French (or other languages). But there are names that are not used a lot in other languages like
Male:
Beat (BEH-aht, not BEET!)
Jürg (YURG, with the U like the French "tu")
Ueli
Female:
Bäbi (short for Barbara)
Heidi (this is used in other languages, but it's very Swiss)
