German Baby Names

And if you’ve ever tried to say exactly how you feel for baby already, you know how difficult a task that is, but looking into German baby girl and baby boy names might make that task easier for you.

And speaking of defining by inner strength, German baby boy names like Derek and Leonardo mean ‘power of the tribe’ and ‘lion strength’ respectively.
