Warner is my surname, attributed to my GG Grandfather, William Warner, b. 1818, Perhaps near Baden Baden. Family story is that the name may have been changed in coming to America, and was he known as a "very Prussian German", because of his handlebar mustache, blue eyes and heavy German accent. That leaves me with the following alternative: Wernicke, Werner, Wirner, Werher, Wirnher, Worner, Wornher & Warnhari.

This is my dad's name - the biggest problem with it is that it is consistently misspelled as "Warner" by everyone told his name. I wouldn't recommend it be given to a child too far away from Germany, both because of the spelling and because I think it sounds better as intended - "verner" - and that's not going to happen most other places.
