I...I finally got to your post ... very interesting! I remember Brigitte as being one of my favortie names as a girl. Just thought it had a nice sound. As to the spelling of your name... one of my best girlfriends in my late elementary and high school years was Karin. When you first posted on my blog, I quickly checked, thinking it was her. But now I just have two friends with the same name.Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288355284573379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040637906375872170.post-2402031166186980402010-02-07T20:43:00.330-07:002010-02-07T20:43:00.330-07:00I liked this post. :) It's funny and lighthear...I liked this post. :) It's funny and lighthearted and made me giggle. :) Personally, I am not in favor of not giving the time to appreciate another person's name enough to stop and learn how to pronounce it. In fact, I appreciate the names of others so much, that I go so far as to asking the origin and history of their names! :)<br /><br />I like Brigitte and Karin. :) Especially now because I know what they mean. :)C.

Her first name, Elvira, was always mispronounced by English-speakers. She, too, was called by one name in her native community and other in the English community.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923630536753873113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040637906375872170.post-54605628487571864412010-02-02T05:11:04.647-07:002010-02-02T05:11:04.647-07:00Karin : I'm not an Oma yet, but I can see that...Karin : I'm not an Oma yet, but I can see that my German mother-in-law just loves being called that.

I know people names Karen, but not Karin. How do you pronounce it? Care-en--or Car-en???? I have always said Care-en... <br /><br />My name is Elizabeth Bruce Banks. My folks called me Betsy --and that is what I have always been called. When kids would tease me, they'd say "Betsy Wetsy Wets her Pants".... Made me CRY!!!!<br /><br />I love the name Elizabeth--and wish I had been called Liz or Beth... Oh Well. I used to HATE my middle name because to me, Bruce was a boy's name. BUT-now that I'm older, I'm glad I have that name since it is a family name. <br /><br />Love your African Violet...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8040637906375872170.post-1157816578456768062010-02-01T14:37:49.825-07:002010-02-01T14:37:49.825-07:00My sister´s name is Karin, spelled exactly like yo...My sister´s name is Karin, spelled exactly like yours, so I´ll never forget. But I didn´t know about Brigitte. Very German. I can imagine the confusion when being smaller. I like Karin better, because that´s how I got to know you. :)Betty Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.com
