Hildegard und Brunhilde natürlich
und Kunigunde!
Ursula is great if you think “little bear” and not “octopus villain”
I think neither, but “Ursula von der Leyen” and so am not convinced… ;-)
Sabine
That’s actually kind of a hard question, as most of the ones in common use are imports from other languages.
Yeah, im also not interested in common names, but cool ones. If they’re imported, it doesn’t really matter. I just want a name that fits into the German language well.
If you are considering naming a child, think twice about using a “cool” exotic name.
Think about your child having to visit school one day and especially girl groups will happily take any strange standout feature as a source for bullying (own experience with a girl in elementary school).
Having said that, Mathilde will probably be ok, Brunhilde less so, although it is arguably much cooler.
It’s complicated…
Maybe your child was being bullied for another reason. I myself have a name which is represented in the world by exactly 2 people, and I did not get bullied in the slightest. Also, I’m naming my future girlfriend. Not my child, I would never torture a soul by birthing it on earth.
Unfortunately, you got that slightly wrong.
My daughter was one of the bullies… 🫣That is… Interesting
Individually, each of the girls is super sweet, thoughtful and considerate.
As a group it is all about fitting in and punishing any kind of non-conformity.
They are slowly learning, though.
This type of group dynamic seems not to be uncommon, I’ve been told.
Especially (but not exclusively) within girl groups.Hence my earlier call for caution.
Naming your future girlfriend? What does that mean?
Not OP, but I would guess their partner is transitioning and looking for a new name.
That did occur to me, but the phrasing of “future girlfriend” seemed a little off for that in the context of someone accepting and understanding. It would have the same vibes as when I hear boomers who are trying to be accepting but are just a little outdated when they say things like “back when [person] used to be a boy”. Which it is my understanding is not generally the preferred way of speaking about it.
But I’m neither trans no currently close friends with anyone who is, so I’d love to be corrected if I’m wrong.
So yeah, I was thinking mainly the AI thing, which doesn’t seem super healthy.
Did you even read the following comments?
Also i dont care about being called future girl, since i introduced it myself.
Or maybe it’s for an AI roleplay bot
No, its for me :3
My guess is that he is a DnD player that has to flash out the background of his character, so the DM can start using characters from his background.

If you’re late, you don’t get fruit cup.
Edit: wrong movie, same Cloris. I’m leaving it.
Nadin. 🥰
Imogen
That’s a British name, though.
In German, “Imogen” sounds like it is the name of some prescription medicine.
Oops :/ it sounds like a medicine in American English too. I still think it’s a pretty name though.
Not 100% German orientation, but Lucia is a favorite of mine
I do genealogy. I have a great great great great grandmother who is named “Rosine Concordie”. Other than that, I like classics like “Adelheid” or “Elfriede”
TIL that “Rosine” had been a common name in Southern Germany until the end of the 19. century, when it started being used the way it is today (as the name for raisins).
I also learned that the word for “raisin” before “Rosine” was “Zibebe”.
Oh wow, now I learned something too, never heard that term before. I have two Rosine’s in my family tree, born 1793 and 1826, both in Saxony-Anhalt.
Annemarie
I like the name but I once had a coworker that was really useless to the point it ruined it for me haha.
Annelise
Schmidt!
Braun?
Heidi
Frieren
(I know this is in reference to Sousou no Frieren, but just in case: that’s not an actual German name, it’s just a German verb. Never even seen it used as a name.)
I wonder if by now it would have become acceptable as a girl’s name by the German authorities.
There might already exist real-life Frierens in Germany!Hm… Maybe? Only one way to find out!
As a German: I like Franziska and Elisabeth (even though it also exists in English)
