I’m A Bear of Very Little Brain

Well, Piglet,

What I’m thinking about is this.

There is a root for England. Anglophile. Anglicize. Anglican.

There is a root for China. Sinophile. Sino-Soviet split.

There are three roots for France. Francophile. Gallic. Cheese-eating surrender monkey.

But there are no roots for Germany. If I want to pronounce a kid’s name by making the w sound like a v, am I Germanicizing his name? The phrase seems awkward.
