Cool Polish names

And she's probably right because it would be hard to pronounce in English. They would say it Ann-dr-zage or something weird and nobody would know how to spell it.

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.

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

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 :(

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.

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

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?.
