Cookie Lea - | 2 26 May 2014 #5I think Kaya looks like a more natural spelling in English. It is also a lovely name :)
Jardinero 1 | 405 8 Aug 2016 #10Many old fashioned names out there:WiesławaWładysławaZdzisławaMieczysławaMiłosławaMirosława...
Lyzko 45 | 9,343 8 Aug 2016 #11And then there's always Wisława (as in "Szymborska"):-)I personally am fond of Krysia aka Krzysztyna, Kasia, Domenika, and Sandra.
Dreamergirl 4 | 273 8 Aug 2016 #12Boys names? I want some input into this as my baby daddy says he has to choose the names as he's polish?
Lyzko 45 | 9,343 8 Aug 2016 #13Boguś > Bogdan, Piotruś > Piotr, Michał, Antek, and Witek are among my favorites:-)
Dreamergirl 4 | 273 8 Aug 2016 #14I like the sound of some of those, maybe he will agree to them! How do I chose which one I like?
Lyzko 45 | 9,343 8 Aug 2016 #15Like nearly everywhere, first names are totally generational! You wouldn't torture your kid with a name from your boyfriend's GRANDDAD'S generation now, would you?
Dreamergirl 4 | 273 8 Aug 2016 #16No what I mean is because of his culture he chooses the babies name so how should I get to choose one?
Lyzko 45 | 9,343 8 Aug 2016 #17Compromise, I suppose:-) Hey, he might even opt for an Anglophone aka "traditional" name for the child!I know for example relatively few Polish males UNDER fourty named Bolek > Bolesław, as it is a royal name after King Bolesław The Brave (Bolesław Chorobry). On the other hand for girls, certain traditional names are quite popular, I understand.
