[Opinions] Re: Perusal of boys' German names
in reply to a message by Aileen
Delicious list! I ended up adding Emil, Ferdinand, Friedrich, Henrik, Johann, Leopold, Matthias and Maximillian to my PNL.
Adalrik - Actually, I quite like this.
Agustine - Okay. It has soft, slightly feminine sound (not that that's bad or anything).
Emil - Adorable and handsome at the same time. I like combo Emil Sebastian.
Emmerich - It looks really great, but I'm not sure of the sound.
Erik - Dislike.
Ferdinand - Really nice, strong name. Yummy!
Franz - I prefer it over Frans, but I don't think Franz is too great.
Friedrich - Gorgeous.
Gustav - I can see a dog or a hen or a duck called Gustav, but not really a real, living human being.
Hans - Reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen. Not the most amazing name in the world, but okay.
Heinrich - I agree, it sounds nice.
Hendrik / Henrik - Hendrik: meh. Prefer Henrik and its royal sound.
Ignatz - Don't like this. It doesn't sound particularly welcoming name.
Immanuel - Kind of ugly.
Johann / Johannes - I prefer Johann, though Johannes is good too.
Josef - I personally prefer Joseph.
Leon - Nice.
Leopold - Good, elegant name.
Lutz - Really light and perky name.
Malthe - I adore the spelling.
Matthias - It looks much better when it's spelled with two 't's!
Maximillian - You're right, this is a hot name.
Niklaus - It feels like it either has one letter too much or is missing one. Nikolaus and Niklas look better.
Pankraz - Ew. Can't say I like this very much.
Pascal - Yuck.
Philipp - Lovely.
René - The meaning is nice. Other than that, it's nothing very special.
Severin - It's nice, but sounds like a medicine.
Sven - Stereotypical Swedish man.
Theodore - Great name.
Viktor - I don't really care for it, but I like the feminine version, Viktoria.
