Cute German boys names - mission impossible!

So my husband is German and we are having twin boys. We'd like to honour the German side of them with German middle names but are struggling to find ones that aren't so harsh sounding. There are some we like, but know people well who have them and I don't want to name them the same as/after people (Sebastian/Nils/Mats all love and all out). So, your mission, if you choose to accept it...

Husband and I are both German! People in the US thinks we chose a wild name for our son but in reality it’s very common in Germany (Wolfgang) 🙂 also my husbands brother did a German name also. They went with Ansel. Another great German name is Maximillian

Have you got the first names?

Isidor, Hartwin, Christoph, Leo, Maxi, Bastian, Theodore

i named my baby Otto, i didnt know it was german cause i'd never heard it before but my uncle lived in germany for a long time and he was delighted when i told him the name

My mom is German and these are names we had in our family.

Jacob (Pronounced differently in German. More like Yacob if memory serves)
Konrad
Swolf
Franz

My great grandpa was German and his name was Alfred which is is a mixture of old German and old English. I wanted to use it for my son's middle name but giving my son two old time names just didn't flow well.

August baby - anyone having signs of labour approaching? 🤞

I’m 37+3 and will be induced at 39 weeks. Baby is wriggling and pushing against my cervix regularly. I’ve had some mild cramping last night and changes to digestion but that’s about it - I’m definitely in my “freeze mode” waiting for anything to happen 🙈🙈

Nesting

Anyone else's nesting out of control 😂😂

I've just spent 2.5 hours scrubbing/reorganising our bedroom and ensuite. Anyone would think I'm giving birth to Kim or Aggy the way my brain thinks this baby is going to judge me 😂😂

How long did you wait to take your baby out?

Where I'm from, babies don't usually go out until much later. Personally, I'm waiting until he's three months old to take him out in public.

Name dilemma

I love the name Emmie as a shortened name particularly when little but stuck on longer version…..
Emiliana
Or
Emilia???
Or any other suggestions 🤷🏼‍♀️

Babies last name

Hey ladies, if your partner is not involved in your pregnancy would you still give your baby his last name? This would be my bds first child but he’s a crazy person therefore I don’t want him involved in anything. I’m thinking I want to give my son my last name. I’m sure it will spark a bit of chaos being that my bds father passed so they feel some kind of connection to the last name but I just feel like why should my child have your last name when I’m doing all the work?

Give main birthday cake out?

At parties do you expect the main cake to be given out in party bags or to be eaten there?
Ive been to quit a few party's now and after the child blows out the candles the cake is put away and taken home and then other cakes given out or none!
My daughters 5th birthday is coming up and im planning on taking home and having cupcakes made for children to take home.
My thoughts are having cakes professionally made are very expensive and its doubtful the children are going to appreciate the expensive cake, which im guessing why others did this!
Thoughts?
