I need help writing a persona for my german re-enacting! If anyone would like to take the time to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I am still trying to come up with a good, strong German name. Any ideas for a first,middle and last german name?? I need to find the city where I was registered for conscription. My date of birth ( I am 34 years old, so I would like to be around that age for 1942-44 ).The German city I was born in? What would my religion more than likely had been?? My occupation? City where enlisted?? My wife and parents' full name ( just because I am not familiar with old German names ). Any help with this would be great, it is for a soldbuch I am putting together for my re-enacting persona. Thank you. Jody.

Jody, very, very few Germans of the period had middle names. As for the rest... you have a lot of research ahead of you. Most of the information you seek should be specific to your unit. Units were raised in certain geographic areas that had their own unique characteristics. Perhaps someone in your unit can help. What is your real name? -

I dont agree,plenty of germans had middle or second names.
Here are a couple of websites including information on german middle names and naming techniques
