agree  Ingo Dierkschnieder: That's right, they are not translated but sometimes have an equivalent (John => Johannes). Samantha, however, is the same in German.

neutral  Aniello Scognamiglio (X): it depends on the name, there is no translation for my name, for "Luigi" (my brother) you could easily say "Ludwig". //My brother *lives* ;-) in Germany, some people call him Luigi, some prefer Ludwig, some say Gino ;-)
1 hr
  -> I agree that there are equivalents, but your brother wouldnt come to Germany introducing himself as Ludwig, would he? // Fair enough, but at least officially he still needs to use Luigi :0))
