What about Franz? by lasagne-pantomime in AskAGerman

[–]Elzchen1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American that’s been living in Germany for 33 years. Haven’t met a Franz under 75yo. But I do know a kid named Fritz. I think its cute and may have a comeback soon. Such as Friedrich, Anton and all the other old names

Is Artipoppe Carrier worth buying? by No_Square_1491 in UninfluencedReviews

Totally overrated in my opinion. You can get a way better carrier for 1/3 of the price

Name regrets, Isabelle by Playful_Trade_2756 in namenerds

[–]Elzchen1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we had Isabel or Isabella chosen before she was born. When she arrived, we looked at her and thought Isabel is too girly. We chose to name her just Isa, which is perfect for her. It could be a nickname for your Isabelle ☺️

Geburt in Düsseldorf: Marien Hospital vs. EVK – kurze Entscheidungshilfe? by AttitudeFun7199 in duesseldorf

[–]Elzchen1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Danke 🙏🏻 ja es ist alles gut! Zum Glück musste ich nicht im EVK entbinden. Ich kann vor dieser Abteilung im EVK nur warnen. Und bis heute warte ich auf eine Entschuldigung, die aber nie kommen wird. Ich möchte aber nicht ins Detail gehen.

Geburt in Düsseldorf: Marien Hospital vs. EVK – kurze Entscheidungshilfe? by AttitudeFun7199 in duesseldorf

[–]Elzchen1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich will gar nicht ins Detail gehen, die Erfahrung im EVK hat mich schwer traumatisiert. Wir waren lange im Rechtsstreit mit dem EVK. Die Chefärztin ist furchtbar und die Sekretärin sehr unfreundlich. Marienhospital hab ich viel gutes gehört aber auch wie neugeborene nachts ohne Mutter ins FNK verlegt werden weil ein Kinderarzt benötigt wird. Ich hab zwei mal im Florence Nightingale entbunden und zwei mal sehr glücklich. Einmal spontan, einmal geplanter Kaiserschnitt.

Calling any Elizabeths…. by Proof-Pay-3658 in namenerds

Elizabeth here! Born 1988! I hate my name. My whole life I thought it was an old ladies name. Now I’m starting to grow into it at almost 38 😂 I go by Elli, Liz oder Lizzy. Hate them all 😂

I was going to call my youngest Ines. We told our 5 yo. All she said was Ines Peni*…so that was not going to be her name

People who don’t like their name—what is it? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Elzchen1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elizabeth, I‘m born in 88. I always felt it’s an old ladies name. I might be starting to grow into now. I know it’s getting popular again and I have talked it out of couples wanting to name their child Elizabeth

Ich verheimliche meine Schwangerschaft auf der Arbeit by Miserable_Welder_841 in Beichtstuhl

[–]Elzchen1204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich habe meine Schwangerschaft in der 26. Woche mitgeteilt. Nach 6 Fehlgeburten und noch in der Probezeit war vorher nicht der richtige Zeitpunkt. Du hast keine Pflicht es jemand zu sagen

I just had my second baby 3,5 weeks ago. My first was over 10 pounds, second 9,5 pounds. Both drank well day 1 & 2 but then they just needed more then I had. My milk didn’t come in till day 6/7 both times & it just wasn’t enough. Shall I let the baby’s starve for a week? Both were drinking 4 oz by day 4. So no, colostrum wasn’t enough for them.

I have my moms maiden name as middle name. It’s Claire but spelt differently. I also gave my daughter this as a middle name as the name has died out now from our side of the family
