relatives and their names

[scouty.livejournal.com]

hello again

I´d like to give my kids a third name...which is related to my parents

but my parents have really..well..old // traditional whatever names

my parents names :

brunhilde roberta

walter roland helmuth

I can´t find any names that I want to use
it should be a modification of it (one of the names)

any suggestions ?
doesn´t matter if for boys or girls

I would be so thankful

I already checked wwww.behindthename.com
but the only names I somewhat like are :

roberta :
ROBIN / ROBYN
HOPKIN
ROBERT

brunhilde: /

walter : /

roland :
ORLANDO

helmuth : /

there must be a modification that I like ...somewhere...


thank u

i don't know if keeping the gneral sound of the name intact is important to you, but you can look up the meanings of the names and try and find a name that has a similar meaning? maybe?

example, btn says brunhilde has two elements, one meaning 'protection' and one meaning 'battle.'

so you could look it up this way...

brilliant idea...
I mean I would love to have a similar name but it´s really really hard to find one...so that would be a good option !!

so I had a look at the links u showed me and I like :

brunhilde = protection
LIV
WILLIAM

brunhilde = battle
PHINEHAS
NELSON
JONATHAN
GUINEVERE
EOWYN

roland = famous land
AVA
BELLE
BRADLEY
CALEB
HAYDN .. I would use HAYDEN
JOSIAH
LINUS
MACKENZIE
MADISON

but did I do it right
I searched for "famous land"...and "fame" and "land"...
but I´m surprised that there are so many names and e.g.
madison means From a surname which means "son of MAUD".

My first thought was Hilde (from Brunhilde) although I don't know if that's pronounced similarly or not. (I'm thinking of the designer from Trading Spaces if that rings any bells- it's like hill-dee)

I think Roland and/or Walter would be very nice, strong MNs for a boy if you wanted to honor him that way.

Brynja is Icelandic, and I believe (although I'm not certain) that it has the same root in Old Norse as the Brun- part of Brunhilde.

Ahh, what's wrong with Roland?! It's one of my favorite boy names. :)
