German speaking trivia....And another...

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I know this isn’t a trivia board generally , but perhaps someone can help me with these…

  1. “The German name for which country’s capital city, is, in reverse, the surname of a great post World War ll tennis champion?”
    Might be Borg, and Grob? Is there such a city?

2.“Which 10 letter word was formerly a name for persons who were about to be baptised because they were given a symbolic candle to hold?”

Thanks for any replies in advance.

I looked up a page with all the capitals of the world in German, but none of them reversed gave me a tennis player. Well, not that I KNOW of, anyway.

Hmmm.

Can you link me to that page please Coldfire. Thanks…
(Is it all in German?..I don’t speak it at all)

Two columns, one sorted by country, and one by capita. Good luck!

I’d go with Catechumen for this one - we hear the word a lot through Lent, up through Easter.

If you care I cheated and grabbed a World Almanac, and cross referenced with Coldfire’s site. But I think the answer is

Rod Laver, cause Reval is the capital of Estland on the web site although it’s in parenthesis

Thanks guys, looks good to me. Cheers.

Buy yourselves a drink.

I’m really not usually this anal, but the first name that popped to mind was Graf, and I really had to keep on searching to find out if there was a capital called Farg. Hehe you fargin bastages.
