Polish names

CuteBride8808

Hey,

I'm looking for a Polish name for a boy that is said and spelled so that Americans can understand, but still a Polish name . For example, we have a girl name picked and it is Kira (so its a Polish name, spelled the Polish way, but americans can easily say/spell it too).

Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you mean more like Walter, and less like Sigismund?

What about Damian (I think this name is Polish...I know a Polish guy with it), Konrad, Jarek, Marek?

If Marek is Polish I vote for that!

Kira- very pretty name but being born and raised in Poland I have never ever heard of this name. Sounds Sanskrit to me.

I asked this once (well, for boys and girls names) here. Definitely check out this list of Polish names.

GL!

wow, thanks for all your responses!! This is very helpful.

I like Marek! Thats great....now just have to see if the hubby likes it. 

Thanks for the suggestions...looks like I have more options than I thought :-)

Well Kira is English say www.babynames.com. The only boy name that is easy to say is Zale.

According to Behindthename.com, Kira is English or Russian, not Polish.

For boys I like Adam, August, Damian, Daniel, Edmund, Kasper, Konrad, Leon, Marek.

Be aware that the Polish pronunciation of Marek is not Merrick but Mah-rehk. No use in naming him a name you and the whole country will butcher.

Love Kira.

I love Marek!  And if Sebastian is Polish, that gets my vote, it is in my top 3!

My son has a polish name, Jarek. So there's my vote! I'm glad someone else suggested it with other polish names. Alot of people think it's a name I made up and spelled weird. I also really like Marek. Yah polish names!! I'm glad you're thinking of using one.

Marek is Mark in Polish, and no one can pronounce it correctly here (it's my brothers's name). It's pronounced Mah-rek, and he gets Merrick. Sebastian, Edward, Benjamin, Aleksander, Feliks, Kasper, Michal, Patryk, Roman would all work.

And yeah, I haven't heard of Kira as a Polish name, but because of the way it's spelled it can easily be pronounced in Polish.
