International names

William?

I like it but they would pronounce it Villiam.. Which i don't like

I really like the name Henry, but don't know how well that'd fit in Poland

Raiden? really? That is a character from the video game "mortal kombat" that I played when I was a kid!

Not a huge fan of Henry in Polish they call then Henryk which i hate even more.

i quite like
Lawrence spelt in polish - Lorenz
Theodore - Teodor

Lorenz is a good name.

I want to try and get a short list of two of each names to discuss with dh.. DH has already pretty much picked the girls names with no changes allowed.. But its up to me to find a boys names... Which considering i WANT a boy is really hard for me to think of a boys name..

International boy names are soooo hard, we had the same problem twice. For girls it is a lot easier.
I like Lorenz a lot.
What about Oliver, Alexander, Lucas, Valentin, Dominic, Leonard, Simon, Tobia, Daniel ?

From Indira's list I like Alexander and Daniel. My Romanian friend has a Henry (which I know you don't like) and a Felix. I think Theodor and Lorenz would both work well too - I know of Theos and Lawrence's and it's just different spelling.

Sooo Hard !
I like all those names but there so common here !
I have at least one family member with the name.. apart from Valentin, Tobia and Leonard.. I like Tobia the best out of them..
Thanks for the suggestions
Keep them coming..

I really like Theodore or Theodor as it would be spelled there.

Dominick was a name we thought about before DS1... and before we decided on family names. But one thing I always think about is how it can be made fun of, sometimes the nicknames are ok. Here it is very common for kids in high school to get picked on for everything. So Dominick=Dam Dom or D & ick spells dick. One of my bros friends has a girl named Mount Everest, so for perv teen boys they can say "lets go mount everest" really bad.

For DS2, Charles, I was only concerned about if he was a little over weight as a teen and was called Chucky Chuck but my boys are very active and we center our days around a lot of activities and healthy eating so we are not worried about weight. But my boys redneck nicknames are Jimmy Tom and Chucky Tim, gives the neighbors a laugh.
