Agnes.

You're sure?

AGNES f /AG-nes/ English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian
"chaste" from the Greek adjective hagnos. Saint Agnes was a virgin martyred under Roman emperor Diocletian. The name became associated with Latin agnus "lamb", resulting in the saint's frequent depiction with a lamb by her side.

Hmmm... I don't want to think of phrases like 'Lamb to the slaughter' just at this moment...

Friedrich

FRIEDRICH m German
German form of FREDERICK. This was the name of kings of Germany. The philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and the socialist Friedrich Engels are two famous bearers of this name.

FREDERICK m /FRED-ur-ik/ /FRED-rik/ English
From a Germanic name meaning "peaceful ruler", derived from frid "peace" and ric "ruler, power". Several rulers of Prussia, Germany and the Holy Roman Empire have borne this name, including the 13th-century patron of the arts Frederick II of Germany, and the 18th-century Frederick II of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great. Another famous bearer was Frederick Douglass, an American ex-slave who became a leading advocate of abolition.

It's funny, since my last name is very german, too, and I'm a half Korean and look like a Turk

Sad to say, Liz, the reason those warning labels are there is because there were boneheads that did every one of those things or otherwise mis-used the product in such a way as to get themselves injured or killed, leading the gov'ment to mandate warning labels designed to protect morons from themselves. This assumes, of course, that said morons know how to READ!
