The topic of this paper are female first names in the 19th century. They have been given by Flemish Catholics and German Protestants to their daughters. The girls had been baptized in St. Geertrui Church in Leuven (Flanders) and St. Catherine Church in Brunswick (Germany) in the period 1838—1898. The data were taken from the baptism registers of these churches. The quantity of names, their frequency, origin and forms have been examined. The names had been classified to several groups according to their sort. The set of first names and its changes in Germany and Flanders have been compared. There are differences between the number of names, the interest for some names and the type of names in German protestant and Flemish catholic communities. Although Reformation and the Counter-Reformation had left some restrictions for the giving of names for the Catholic and Protestants, the confessors seemed in the 19th century not to pay much attention to these orders and have been motivated probably by other reasons as well.

The Reformation and the Counter-reformation had left some restrictions for the giving of names after for the Catholics and Protestants. In this paper we have examined the proper names of protestant boys, which had been baptized in St. Catherine Church in Brunswick (Northern Germany) in the period 1808-1908 to find out, how the names had changed in a hundred years time. The quantity of names and their frequency have been examined. The names have been classified and classed to several groups according to their origin, like Germanic names, biblical names or the names of the saints etc. The names in the birth registers of the St. Catherine Church have some typical features which are characteristic for German Protestants, although the amount of biblical names is not as big as expected in contrary to the names of the saints, which still appear in the birth register in each year.
