Re: would u like to be called something like...
Hi!
All this names are normal for older people here (Germany). Only Jacoba is rare (Jacob or Jakob is more frequent) , Christiaan and Nicolaas we write Christian and Nicolas, George we write Georg and we speak it different from your description (I can't explain it in English). The name susanna knows everybody, but Susanne is more frequent. And Maria and Johannes are frequent names for kids, too. I don't think they are beautiful names, but for my grandfather or -mother they are really ok. But Cahrissa for example is a really stupid name in germany (I know Klarissa but not Cahrissa). I think you can't compare names from different countries, the languages are too different.
