This sound as a good German approximation of my name or is there a English-German name converter out there? I'm playing Europa Universalis II online and Im playing as Brandenburg-Prussia with the goal in mind of Uniting Germany under 1 Flag! So far only Bavaria, Baden, and Vienna remains to be annexed into Großdeutschland.

In German, ei sounds like "eye," so that's not a good approximation. I might go with Blän. It sounds very close, and as an added bonus you get to use an umlaut.

umlaut?

I thought "umlaut" was the german translation of that Hanson song....

An umlaut is the two-dot accent that shows that a vowel has been fronted.

That's just silly, it's obviously how the germans say omelette.

Bradley means broad field. So Grossfeldt might do it.
