Popular Polish / English Baby Names





While trying to decide on baby names for my forthcoming arrival and I came across this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_popular_given_names




According to the list these were the most popular boy names given in the UK and Poland in 2010:

Chloe
Ava

Amelia

Most popular girls names in Poland 2010

Names I especially like which work well in both Polish and English (names which retain the same spelling and where pronunciation differs only slightly) include:





Boys: Albert, Bernard, Edward, Edmund, Gabriel and Sebastian
Girls: Barbara, Isabella, Joanna, Julia, Pauline and Sabina

At the moment frontrunners for me are Otto (if my baby is a boy) and Klementyna (Clementine) (if the baby is a girl).

  2. This is such a pretty name. It has a nice meaning and is not tired at all. Sophie is a cute first name for a little girl as well. I would incontestably judge using this as a first name. The meaning of Sophie is "wisdom"
