I see that the names I have chosen for my girls are becoming popular, but as with Agnieszka they'll reach their peak soon and return again another day. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting Kielbasa Stories:)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384854442041889558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-71445194463738349002016-03-24T20:30:57.706+01:002016-03-24T20:30:57.706+01:00Hello, Agnieszka here!

It is true that since primary school there always have been some other Agnieszkas around me and there were even 4 of us in the same close neightbourgood but there are very few little Agnieszkas now, so unfortunately it's one of those names that live one generation. My friends shorten it to "Ag" instead of most popular version "Aga".<br /><br />P.S. I love your mixing Polish words into text written in English, the phrase "should be a little misiowaty" made me giggle :).Aghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04508245610108962815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-29905741715977784692014-10-05T09:40:28.033+02:002014-10-05T09:40:28.033+02:00Were her parents hippies? :)Were her parents hippies? :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384854442041889558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-9339331821690698102014-10-05T00:56:49.546+02:002014-10-05T00:56:49.546+02:00I knew a sunshine, too :)I knew a sunshine, too :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08154668407741873422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-71266556777327888352011-08-23T20:15:31.315+02:002011-08-23T20:15:31.315+02:00I really liked the article, and the very cool blog...I really liked the article, and the very cool blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-38533710715443374242010-03-08T14:09:52.471+01:002010-03-08T14:09:52.471+01:00So where are you living now?

Well, in Polish it is the same traditional and simple but just very, very popular. <br /><br />My girls have a first name and middle name that can function in both languages and are more grown up than their nicknames, as well. I wanted to give them some choices for the future. I hope that they appreciate it because I cannot imagine a President Lizzie or a President Rosie.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384854442041889558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-78818888513534722012010-03-08T05:25:45.603+01:002010-03-08T05:25:45.603+01:00I just wanted to weigh in on the Anna thing. I'...I just wanted to weigh in on the Anna thing. I'm actually 100% Polish (my mom sent me a link to your blog!) and I grew up in the US. I've never been one of many Anna's in the US but in Poland, I was one of a thousand Anias. That's why my parents started called me Andzia. So even though there's a ton, Polish does give those of us with common names a ton of chances to change it up. <br /><br />PS. They also had the same debate you had when choosing my name only they were in the US. They went with Anna because it's so easy to switch between.Anianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-56364898640778324932009-10-04T09:20:16.148+02:002009-10-04T09:20:16.148+02:00Donna and Ewa- What do you think about Panienka?

I think it's so sweet and old- fashioned.<br />My mum often calls me"skarbeczku", which I like a lot.<br />"Zaba" is so cute ( and strange at the same time, where did that come from?). My older cousin used to call me that when I was little.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674675198057381888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-48120807447842651962009-10-04T01:18:24.829+02:002009-10-04T01:18:24.829+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674675198057381888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489825674468647913.post-63607659863407118982009-10-02T21:49:47.564+02:002009-10-02T21:49:47.564+02:00We used to call each other "ryba", that ...We used to call each other "ryba", that is "fish" in English. Just plain fish, no diminutives :-). "Stara" (the old one) is my favourite term of endearment as far as my best (girl) friend is concerned. I call my youngest child (daughter) "żaba" - don't ask me why ...<br /><br />PS. I was sure your children's names are REALLY Lizzie and Rosie. You got me on that one :-).donnanoreply@blogger.com
