Your name, in German.

SabreHawk · 05-22-10, 09:19 PM

Well I been thinking of just starting over with a new carreer(since I seem to be totally losing and screwing up this latest mission anyway).
And so I wanted to have a different name this time and I wanted it to be my own name but I wanted it to be the German equivilent of it.
So I did the usual Google thing and it came up with lots of sites of course but this one seemed to be simple enough.

So, my name of Chuck Duncan came out as "Thorsten Mirko". And well, I kinda like the sound of it actually. So im going with it.
Funny thing is, if I use my name as I was born with, Charles Duncan, it comes out quite different,
"Heiko Jonas"

That's because it's a random name generator. It doesn't really translate your name or anything. If it did, it wouldn't need to change my last name then.

I'm sure someone who knows German will be along soon to help.

I do know that Charles in German is Karl. That one should be obnvious.

My own name is easy, because my ancestors came from England, but centuries earlier were part of the Saxon invasion, so I am Stefan Brodfeldt.

Yup. Giving it the same input 50 times will give you 50 different names.

Yes.

Daniel. Three u-boatmen had that first name. Not many, but more than one.

That pretty much made my day.

Mondschein is moonlight in english.

Dunno where you get the drugs from.

It seems to give random combinations of two forenames.

Daniel is a pretty common name in germany.

Hi,

there is no translation for Duncan in german. Its a celtic name and means something like brown or dark warrior.

In german, Charles is Karl or Karol.

Greets,
Paco.

Schultz · 05-23-10, 02:34 PM

There is also Carol in romanian

Your German Name is: Lukas Jacques
