Cool Polish names

Oh, I don't know. I see immigrants in my kids schools all the time from many countries and most people are good about learning names. The thing that bugs me most is no one pronouncing our last name correctly(its Ukrainian, but with a Polish spelling). I'm sure that if I were militant, I could keep correcting people, but the problem is my parents were of a generation that didn't do such things, you just tried to blend in in America. So, there are many people who have known me since childhood, and it would be very awkward to say after all these years "Oh yeah, by the way, you should be saying my name like this."

I like 'Kinga' for a girl and for a boy I like 'Damian.'
Only I don't understand why Polish people give only Polish names to there children.
A lot of people have the same name, like a lot I hear Piotrek and Ania.
I come from Holland and there people have Dutch, English, French, Scandinavian, Russian,etc... names.

Until recently it was because of the law. There are still some rules about naming children in Poland. If they don't translate, you can't use them.

On the subject, i don't know if i find the name Urzula beautiful or repulsive, i guess its kind of kool but on the other hand sounds like a name my grandmother might have !!!

My name is Angelina but I don't think that it's really Polish

Because Poland is predominantly Roman Catholic and All these Piotreks and Anias are named after saints.

What Do U Think About Anna Or Ania Or Aniu Its All The Same :)

I like Ania. They may all be the same, but Anna sounds American to me.

I like the name Jaroslaw =] It's sexy. For a girl, I like Katarzyna. It's pretty.

Yes but I always liked the name Krystyna. My best friend at school had that name and I always used to complain to my Mom that I should have been called Krystyna too ! The things you say as a child :(

It's my names day today. :)

Happy name day Krysia :)

i'll second that, Happy Name Day Krysia :):)

Dziękuję, dziękuję. Kłaniam się nisko :))

i knew a girl named Zdzisławina. At my school, teachers would only be able to get past the 'z......'

somehow later it turned in to katy. I like zdzisławina SO much better. It reminded me of the artist, beksinski. She totally should have stuck through it though...then again people in the united states freak out about my name.

I think Jasia is a cool name

I think BillyBob's a lovely Polish name

HAha i got the most stupied second name wich is Mikolaj, it means "Santa Claus" in Poland.

Santa Claus means Swiety Mikołaj. So you are just Claus :)

Yes it is, and the English translation = "toothless"

I like Lukasz :)

Oh! Hello £ukasz. I like your new name!

and maybe Lukasz likes you too...

;)

Or Emilia, found that name on the Polish nameday list and it's nice too, like :

Natalia - Atanazy - Apolina - Radomil - Anastazy - Alicja - Zenon...

You guys got cool names!!!

Basia is a beautiful name; even if it's a diminutive of a truly horrid one - Barbara.

My uncles name is IGGY, for Ignatiuas? Some of you should know what im trying to spell.

My great babcias name was ANASTUESH-Annastasia. Again dont know the spelling just know what I was told.

And the last polish dude I met told me his name was Zipby. Those are my 3

Other then that, I like Viking Nordic names the most-Olaf and Rune.

Hello imbatman,
And welcome to the Polish forum.

I would recommend a name that can be said in both languages, English and Polish.

There are millions of names to choose from, which do you like?.

Your story is a bit confusing, do you have a new baby sitter too?.

My little brother's name is Sebastian which I picked out. It is spelled the same in polish and english, and my dad's name is Robert.

;D

My Dad's name is my favourite Polish name: Tadeusz. Not quite popular anymore.

I know two of them. They are not spring chickens though.
