Life / Irish man wanna move to Poland [60]

I'm Irish, and my Polish wife and I are considering moving to Poznań in a few months. She'd like to finish her studies (that she put on hold) and I'd like to work on my level of Polish.

However, its a bit interesting for us; I am very keen for us to move there, and she has been more reluctant, but she is coming around to the idea of us going thre. I've spent a few days reading through the main highlights on this site, and it's been... interesting! Many positives and negatives, but it hasn't detracted from my interest so far.

Life / Babies names - spelled similarly in Polish and English [29]

My wifes name is Maja and that seems easily understood in Polish and English. However, when it is only spoken (rather than written) in English, I have seen examples where English speakers are unsure of the spelling and have tried themselves to spell it as Mia or Maya instead.

I'm English & My Lady is Polka.

Heh, yeah - she told me that her name actually was chosen by her uncle after watching the cartoon series, and her parents liked it enough also.
