This said, Daniel is one of those names which work for both sex. Well, the feminine version has got a few "e" more, but still. That's another thing to consider. Think about Nikola, which is a woman's name in German, but a masculine name in so many other languages. This whole name business is tough, I tell ya.</p> http://blog.notanendive.org/post/2008/04/23/Chosing-a-name%3A-the-first-name#c3533 urn:md5:dab7642e3ce7b67e86dfc467533d9453 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:39:34 +0200 Tom Rakewell <p>One of my friends is from a German-Polish family. He was educated in France, where he got his baccalauréat, and he attended the University of Texas at Austin. His wife is Chinese; they live in Luxembourg. So basically he was confronted with the same issue as yours for his first-born. They chose 'Daniel'. I'll suggest 'Emma' if ever they have a girl.</p>
