SoDallas3's list "Expat Baby Names" of 4 great name ideas: Gerard - Oskar!

Names that while not exclusively German or pronounced the same, they work in both German and English, and are great for for expats or bilingual families. 

Gerard is currently in style limbo, after reaching peak popularity in the 1950s. With its strong meaning and gentle sound, it may be back in a generation or two. But for now, a boy called Gerard will likely be the only one in his class...unless you live in Catalonia, where it was recently in the Top 10.
