  1. We wanted a traditional, timeless name with German roots (since thats where we are from), that is not too common and trendy. Yet it’s still quite universal and easy to pronounce no matter where she goes. We like that it sounds strong and confident, but still feminine because of the 2 vowels. Also, it goes well with both mine and my boyfriend’s surname, in case we decide to marry. It is not a greek name by the way, but the female version of the German name Karl, derived from the ancient Germanic “Karlaz” meaning “free man” (it’s “Charles” in English).
    Her second name “Newa” (pronounced “Neh-vuh”) is softer and more personal, in memory of my grandmother. She was from St. Petersburg, Russia and always loved the local river there, named Newa.
