It's pretty interesting hearing a name pronounced differently in another language! 🤗💜 I think 'Paul' in German is still the coolest difference. ► Check out “POPULAR NAMES Pronounced in GERMAN & ENGLISH! (Part 1): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j7WWZMiD1dPTYH0.html

Totally mindblowing that for english speaking persons „Anne Frank“ isn‘t spoken like her real name was.

more bands but a little funny: One Direction- Einbahnstraße Beach boys- Strandbuben Spice Girls- Gewürzgören

"Olivia, Loredana, Estefania!" Ich kann nicht mehr😂😂😭

Also: Benjamin Blümchen! 🐘

Eugene totally blew my mind when i realized it's the english version of Eugen. I heard Eugene in many Movies or TV Shows but never tied it to the name Eugen until i saw the name written somewhere, thats this biggest one for me.

I think, Irena is russian, whereas Irene is german, Erik is scandinavian but Erich is german.

My grandma was called ‚Oma Gretchen‘ but her actual name was Margarete. So Gretchen is kinda a nickname 🥰 I‘m from the north of the Harz ✌🏻

Ich studiere Lehramt auf Englisch und dank einiger muttersprachlichen Dozenten habe ich sehr viele lustige Aussprachen meines Namens gehört 😂 „Henrike“ ist dann doch zu schwer 😂

in rapunzel i always thought his name is “new jeans” because eugen is so different

8:10 Deana versteht es glaube ich nicht, warum Phil jetzt noch die anderen Namen hinten dran hängt😂 Ich hab euch beide gern 😁❤️

Gretchen is already the nickname. -chen is the cutification in German like Schneeweißchen und Schnewittchen (those are actually different charackters) but for example Karl would become Karlchen. Kind would become Kindchen.

Deana: I think we are gonna have to go with like Vanessa or Lily. Me: being happy because she considers my name Phil: while looking disgusted:,,Naw I don't like that". Me: switching from happy to sad real fast

When I watched Harry Potter in english for the first time I was so confused and laught my ass off. Hermine = Her my knee ;)

13:03 I'm from Germany and my Name is Katharina. in every English class the teachers always called me Catherine. I always thought it was weird because they always left the a out. So every time I introduce myself in english I pronounce my name in german. 😁😅

Gretchen kommt von Margarete...

Of course there‘s the name Jane in German. There‘s also Janne. They are more common in North Germany I think.

In "the Vampire Diaries" there are to much names which could be German...😂

The name Benjamin is of hebrew origin and means "son of luck". The youngest child of biblical Jacob/Jakob was called Benjamin... therefore the name stands also for the youngest in a group (or family). So one could be called "the Benjamin" without even having the name Benjamin.

Ich liebe die ulkigen Faxen von Deana, die sie immer dann so lustig im Hintergrund macht, wenn Phil sei schwungvollen Ansprachen hält! Ihr beide seid wirklich ein ganz sympathisches und liebenswertes Ehepaar und deshalb herzlichen Dank, daß Ihr uns so großzügig von Euerem unbeschwerten Lebensglück abgebt!

Hey Phil, Mich würde mal interessieren von wo aus Deutschland du kommst... Tut mir leid mein Englisch ist nicht so gut deswegen frag ich auf deutsch... Hahaha

Charlotte is actually the french version of the name with a Germanized pronunciation, the "more German" und nowadays much less common version wuld be Karlotta. In regards to Frederik, which is the Nether German version of the name, you could also mention the high German version Friedrich (both mean: the peaceful one, literally "peace rich") Erik and Erich are also the nether German and the high German versions of the same name (the honorable, literally: honor rich)

You are GREAT !!!! I adore this channel

You guys are great. I LOVE watching your videos! Love the hat!

9:00 Emil und die Dedektive. Ein Roman für Kinder ist ein 1929 erschienener Roman von Erich Kästner. Serie "Michel aus Lönneberga" von Astrid Lindgren. Im Schwedischen Original hiess "Michl" - "Emil"

I really like your videos. Your two are doing them really great. The hat is awesome Phil. Keep going👍

Pronunciation tip for Deana: The german ch sound is present in the english language. Think of the word cute and speak it slow. the c turns into the german ch before you get to the u. Maybe it helps you

Sorry Phil, the hat fits Deana much better.

I'm from Switzerland and a famous Swiss movie is called "Mein Name ist Eugen" Names to pronounce: Matthias/Matthew Hugo (thought of Hugo Weasley) Johanna/Johanne Hermine/Hermione Norbert Georg/George Andreas/Andrew Adrian Roman/Ramon Fabio Anna Diana Saskia Laura Larissa Ladina Noemi Samantha

The band names had me laughing so hard! XD Yeah, we all listen to the "Rollenden Steine" and the "Jonas Brüder"!

Loving the humor you both bring to these videos! 🤣

Love your videos. They are so funny and interesting.

Wooow 50k+ Abos...... Herzlichen Glückwunsch!!!

Love the hat ! Good one, Phil!

Im sad he didn’t say „Weihnachtsmann“

I absolutely love 💕 you both so much and love your videos so much

I thougt gretchen is the nickname for Grete

loved the wollny's reference 😂👍🏻

Cooles Video 👍🏾

So great Vids! You are fantastic Deana and Phil :) Greetings from Northern Germany ;)

Diana repeatedly saying "Noah's ass" was pretty funny.

You are fun to watch. I lived in Germany as a child. My dad was in the army. Loved the variations of names and words from American to German.

LMAO Phill almost naming the Wollny-family xD

I really enjoy Phil's humor. It's a healthy dose of both American and German humor!

Olivia sounds like "jodeleio " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Made my day ! Absolut Weltklasse ! Weiter so !

I'm an amateur linguist and these name comparisons are like gold to me. 👍❤️

Great hat! Love the long beard! Thank you for the amazing videos!🤘❤️🇩🇪

The Thundermans Have WOLFGANG

Deana I love it when you laugh, such a great laugh! And Phil...definitely rocking the hat and beard dude!

Hi Deana an Phil! Thanks for your great videos! I do apperiate them very much. I think it's useful to look at the roots of the names you mentioned. Gretchen i.e. is a german nickname for Margarete (a name that comes from Greek "margarites" which means "pearl"). Forms of Margarete in German are Grete or Greta, Margaret, Margret and Marga and - as a diminutive - Gretchen, which means "young Margarete" or "little Margarete". By the way: No one names his child Gretchen in Germany these days. A lot of names you talked about have greek, latin and hebrew roots. Gretchen is a good example. Another example for the evolution of names is the hebrew name "Jochanan" - in Greek Ioannis, in Latin and German Johannes, ihn English John. Johannes has a lot of variations in Germany and northern Europe such as Johann, Jan, Jannes, Jens, Hannes, Hans, Hanno, Henning and much more. Same with Nikolaus (german) which comes from Nikoláos (greek). English: Nicholas. Italian: Niccolo a.s.f. The english Santa Claus ist the short form for the Holy Nicholas. And so Claus or Klaus is the short form - not only in german but also in english. The english name Eugene comes from Greek Eugenios. The russian form is Ewgeny or Jewgeni, the polish form Eugeniusz and the german form Eugen. So - what do I want to say? Sometimes it's good to know the origins of names, their roots, to understand, that there is not only one proper pronunciaton. Und vielleicht noch ein Satz auf Deutsch: Es ist total interessant, wenn man Namensherkünfte kennt und dann verfolgt, wie sie sich in den verschiedenen Sprachen und Dialekten entwickelt haben. Ich stelle es mir witzig vor: Jaap, Seamus, Hamish und Santiago stehen am Tresen und der Barkeeper erklärt, das nächste Freibier geht an alle im Raum, die Jakob heißen... Macht weiter so! Please continue your work! Love and liebe Grüße Olaf

Ich gönn euch eure 55k so extrem

Love the hat. 💕💕

Im so glad I randomly found your channel you 2 are amazing. Also im german and when I heard the Name Charlotte in english the first time I was so confused but it sounds way better than in german 😂

I am so celebrating your viceos. My girl comes from Philippines and I share your videos to her, so she can learn a lil bit german language hehe

Den Namen Gretchen habe ich zuletzt bei Goethe gehört. Die "Gretchenfrage" aus Faust I.

Love the hat brotha! That with the beard is a great combo!

Der Hut ist cool 🤠👌

Hearing how names or words are pronounced differently are so cool. Can you imagine telling someone you live in Eugene, Oregon?! 😂

Fred ist die Abkürzung von Alfred. Macht weiter mit euren Videos. Ihr seid klasse

I love you guys!!!

Diana und Phillip...nice wie immer.

Gretchen makes me think of Faust and school 😅

Jane exists in german, at least as the short version of Christiane :D we often call my great cousin that ^-^

I love your videos. Have y'all noticed Deana has taken on a German accent on some words? The best example is the word "here" - very German pronunciation. I think exposure to other dialects/accents has an interesting affect. I enjoy comparisons like you produce; you do it so well. By the way, I like the hat.

Fun video! Gotta say, I like the hat more on Deana than on Phil :D

I have felt like a lot of German pronunciation is very similar to British pronunciations like you said as well. Especially words that end with -er! And I also had a friend in college whose name was Monica and she was Hispanic. She would pronounce her name the same was as the German pronunciation! Very interesting! 😊

I like this channel alot

Maya the bee... loved that cartoon.🐝

Aaaaah that Video is so fun😂😂 ich wusste nicht, dass die Gegenüberstellung von englischen und deutschen Namen so lustig sein kann😂😂😂

Algorithmuskommentaruslongus ...

Lol, Phil not recognizing the name Jan while looking like Jan Delay with that hat. For Benjamin I know also the nickname Benji and I just realized that it's pronounced like banshee^^

Very funny Video 👍😆 i wish you 1 Million subscribers/followers

These videos are actually pretty helpful for picking an international baby name 😁

when you said: "Hollywood Stereotype name" i thought about Hans XD

Love the hat😂

Thank you so much on how to pronounce my name “Gretchen” in German. I love my German roots. My mother’s maiden name is Zimmerman. We were told some stories. Thanks again!

Cooles video haha ^^

nice hat dude! it looks similar to what we call a "pork pie" hat in Chicago.... I have no idea why.... but I like it... where did you buy it?

I worked in Los Angeles California. My customers restaurant was called Wurstküche Restaurant which we called wurst kuchee. They have a selection of bratwurst that included rabbit and rattlesnake. I believe Vustkuke Phonetically, means wurst kitchen. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been spotted there.

Der Hut is zu wild 😂

I was just waiting for my own name. It is one of the 7 most popular names here.

danke...

Many german names have regional alterations. For example Klaus, which is a short version of Nikolaus: there is Claus, Claes, Claas, Klaas. Klaas, Claas and Claes are the netherlands forms, which are also used in northern germany. Gretchen is the pet name of Grete or Greta, which is a short version of Margaret(h)e.

Some of the names mentioned here remind me of the characters in the German series called "Dark". Cool!

Deana got so good in speaking and repeating german words. 👍Chapeau. "Jona(h)" is a name comin up in Germany ...for boys and girls😉

This is so much fun! I'm Swedish and most of these names (if we have them) are pronounced closer to the German way. But not all of them, some are not even close. I've actually laughed out loud more than once :D

I like the hat 🤠👍and the decorated laptop ✌💻 When I was a kid living in Mainaschaff, my neighbor had a daughter named Jasmin. Every evening at dinnertime, her mom (who did not need a megaphone) would go out into her back yard and call her, 🗣"yass-MIIIN!"🏃‍♀ It was like a daily thing 😅

Gretchen is already a nickname for Margarethe. Eugen would be Yevgeniy in Russian. Lotte... Charlotte, Lieselotte Jan. Dutch and Polish version of John, Johannes. And Jane/Joan likewise is Johanne/Johanna in German. Klaus is the nickname for Nikolaus, same as in the US where Santa Claus is originally Saint Nicholas. And K is correct, as Nikolaos is originally a Greek name written with kappa. And Fredrick in German is of course Friedrich or Fritz. And Kathrin is just short for Katharina.

Irene have to be catious, that nobody puts an "s" in front of her name. It would become "Sirene" wich is "siren".

Nice! :)

You could do this with surnames too^^ in the last video you already translated Arthur spooner as Artur Löffel (Löffler is a common surname in northern Germany)

Love the hat and the beard, Phil

Herta, I 'had' two aunts with that name, it's pretty rare for me to see in Canadastan. I think that the German pronounciation of common names are more beautiful to 'my' ears! Thanks again, I really liked it!

Von Matterhorn? Do you have a playbook, too?

Cool Viedo😍 Greatings from Austria 🇦🇹 ❤️

Hi, Deanna and Phil. These type of videos are interesting and funny. When Phil was literally translating band names, that was really funny. That would probably make a good video. Oh, btw, the hat looks cool, Phil. 😂😂

Tolles Video . Ein toller Name zum aussprechen für jeden Engländer und Amerikaner ist : Hugo. Wegen dem H am Anfang :-)

With the hat, Phil reminds me of Toby Curtis from the show "Scorpion"

Bei Paul denke ich immer an den Die Ärzte Song

"Gretchen" or "Grete" and "Greta" are already nicknames for "Magarete" or "Magareta". The syllable "-chen" in "Gretchen" is also a minimization in German. So "Gretchen" would be little Grete and was often used as a nickname for little Girls with the name "Magarete. Another one would be "Gretel" like in "Hänsel und Gretel"
