She is very beautiful.
she’s the most beautiful girl I’ve seen she looks like an elf, just perfect. Amanda Seyfriend is mostly German and I’m guessing the same for Peyton. I feel like Germans might not be so beautiful on average but there are the most beautiful people in the world among them.
Hahahaha, you must not get out much. She’s very ordinary looking. You must have an elf fetish.
@bearboy: The majority? There are just a few names, the most are American or Israeli (3x) or Polish names. No (explicit) hint of Jewish or not. Of course the Israeli and probably the Polish are (or were) Jewish. But in the entry was written:
Gottlieb (German for “God’s Love”) is a German name that may be used as a surname or as a male given name. The name Gottlieb was created in the 17th century, in German speaking parts of Europe, as a product of the age of Pietism, as a way of naming young men with a religiously charged name.
“Pietism” refers to a definitely christian background.
But on the other side I should have remembered the (Jewish) jazz drummer Danny Gottlieb whom a already have seen performing. So shame on me!
Sorry about that @Freerk. I meant to say the majority of names I found while looking. I am sure the majority of Gottlieb’s are in fact NOT Jewish like most German sometimes Jewish surnames.
You don’t need to excuse. It’s good to see both (or more) sides. ;-)
On the German Wikipedia are, of course, by far more non-Jewish German names. :D I have looked now on English sites for some of the people, and there are a few American Gottliebs with Jewish background. More than in Germany, of course, we know why … :(
I just remembered the JEWISH blues guitarist Elvin BISHOP – a name that makes no sense at all … :D
Correction.
Peyton has French heritage, through her 8th great-grandfather, I may have messed up the count, Julian Messick/Mezick.

I thought she may also be of partial Jewish heritage as her 3rd great-grandmother, through her List side, was named Margaret Gottlieb, but I couldn’t find anything conclusive.
Thank you. I would guess the Gottlieb-List side of her family is of non-Jewish German background.
I once searched the internet for the name Gottlieb, because a Jewish character in “Band of Brothers” wore ths name, but the real soldier Gottlieb was a christian (of Austrian decent), and so were all hits I got.
The majority of famous people with the surname “Gottlieb” that I found were Ashkenazi Jewish. Adolph Gottlieb (painter/printmaker), Robert Gottlieb (writer/editor), Maurycy Gottlieb (painter), Sidney Gottlieb (Chemist).
Names listed on famous Gottlieb’s on wikipedia.
Ah, seems that I should have waited a few years!
Or have looked again before posting … :(
German Wikipedia: Gottlieb is a male forename and in the German-speaking language area a common surname. (“Gottlieb ist ein männlicher Vorname und im deutschen Sprachraum gängiger Familienname.”)
Btw. I was a bit wrong in a second way: the charakter is named “Liebgott” (but that’s the same name).
