Baby names, to suit both nationalities!

Dietsquirt

Howdy,

Myself and my wife are having a baby girl in November, super excited.

My wife is Polish.

The small issue we have is that we'd like a name that's easily 'pronounceable' in both languages. Daniel for example is both a Polish name and an English-speaking name.

If any of you are Polish or have any ideas, we'd be delighted!

Thanks

Chattastrophe!

He said they're having a girl, I think Daniel was just an example.

If you're joking: LOL
If you're serious: Das ist nicht lustig

@TheDoctor
My wife's brother is called Piotr, so we'd prefer something else. Thanks

I have been strongly considering Ava, as you say Eva in Polish

Anything but Rihanna will do :pac:

Ania? A lovely name imo.
Celina
Emilja
Izabel
Isn't there a polish version of Julia?
Krystyna - though possibly a bit ghetto on an Irish girl


Or if you're Game of Thrones fans: Arya!

Renata (not really common in English but easily pronounced)

Some that are similar enough but not identical in either spelling or pronunciation:
Justyna
Julia
Ewa
Agata

Have you had any ideas yourselves?

Thanks for the help, not really to be honest, it's proving to be a bit tougher than we first thought.
Her brother's 2 daughters are called Julia & Justyna and her mum is called Ania - you couldn't make this **** up :P

Wouldn't be a huge fan of Agata or Renata, i think Ava/Eva are currently in pole position

Trying to find names that sound similar/nice in different languages can be tough. We had to find one to suit English, French and Spanish so I feel your pain We chose Amélie.

How about Ilona, Isabelle/Isabella, Maria/Marie, Ella, Monica

It's hard to think of unique polish names alright. If you go for one of the most popular ones you're bound to know someone with the same name!
You could also look at names like Mia that would have to be spelled and said the same in both languages. Can't think of any other examples though..also if you plan to register the baby in Poland you may run into difficulties if it isn't a traditional one or one that ends in letter a. I wouldn't be put off necessarily just something to bear in mind.

Two that spring to mind would be Agnieszka - shortened to Agnes or Aggie in English, or Julcia which I think looks neater and closer to an English name too

Chattastrophe!

Marta is lovely ... Martha would be the version used here, but I think both names are lovely!

Maybe Hans?
