Happy Monday, all!

Our King lives!!
Hope you all had a lovely Easter with your family & friends. I got to dress up my little boy in a little blue button-up shirt, jeans, suspenders, Woody's boots, and his newsie cap. He was ADORABLE (if I do say so myself.) But alas, no photo. . . *FACEPALM* I'm determined to fix that---he'll certainly be wearing that outfit again. ;D
But anywho. . . I've decided to share a surname post every third or fourth Monday of each month. As per request (Sarah R.!), this set features German names! There were so many unique ones, I had a hard time choosing which to share today, so I'll definitely be featuring German again in the near future. :]
Enjoy!

Talk to me! What do you think of this set? Any you would pick to use for a story??
Oooh, a surname post every month! YAY. I love this idea! And these are all great ones. I especially like Jaeger. The way it sounds AND its meaning just begs to be the surname of a fantasy hunter! :D
ReplyDeleteSo glad you do! That one definitely sticks out to me as well. And I thought the SAME!! xD
DeleteThese are so different, but so epic!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree, "epic" is a great word to define them. :D
DeleteYay! You did the German one! Awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteI think I love Jaeger and Tanzer the best. They have such a cool feel to them and I love the meanings behind them!
Of course! I would have to agree with you on those. ;D
DeleteOoh beautiful names! I'm storing these for later. ;)
ReplyDeleteYESSSSS Please do!!! :DDD
DeleteOkay, I could totally see myself using Adler in a story. I've never thought about it as a first name before, but it sounds so cool!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I've never thought of it that way either, but I could certainly see it as a first name. Actually, the first thing I think of when I hear it is the character "Irene Adler" from the Sherlock Holmes novels & films. :D
ReplyDeleteSame! I though of her, too. :) (Love those movies!)
