Genealogy / Popular Polish First Names? [152]

Bernadetta

That's not a popular name at all... Popular girl names are Katarzyna (shortened to Kasia), Anna (Ania), Gabriela (Gabrysia), Paulina (Paula), Klaudia, Magdalena (Magda/ Madzia), and lots of others. Boys: Kacper, Bartosz/ Bartłomiej (Bartek), Artur, Krzysztof (Krzysiu/ Krzyś), Jakub (Kuba/ Kubuś). There's lots of them and I don't really know which ones are most popular nowadays...

Language / Interesting Polish tongue twister. [69]

It made me think of mountains cos the only similar words i've come across in polish are "czterotysięcznik" and "trzytysięcznik", meaning respectively a 2.000 and 3.000m high mountain. But my dictionary says there's also "dwutysięcznik" - a two-thousand-tonner, that's a kind of ship?, and probably the name has sth to do with the weight. so, what i'm getting at is that you're right as well i guess :)
