Dutch Fancy Newspaper Birth Announcements Vol. 3

So what I’ve noticed the past 7 months or so is that people no longer really post the middles, which is an absolute shame, luckily some still do. So you’ll just mostly have to do with the first names and the sibsets. This is the first time I’m somewhat acquainted to some of the babies who appeared in these announcements, I won’t include their names (also because they’re not particularly exciting).

The newspaper I’m talking about in case you’re interested is: NRC.

Anyone at all?

My favorite names from the list are [name_f]Orla[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleonore[/name_f], [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], [name_f]Camila[/name_f], and [name_m]Frederik[/name_m]. Thanks for sharing.

I’m in love with the sibsets [name_f]Yfke[/name_f], [name_f]Fenna[/name_f], & [name_f]Lara[/name_f], [name_m]Pepijn[/name_m] & [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], and [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] & Pontus, and also the brilliant combinations of Cathelijne [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Minou and [name_m]Olivier[/name_m] [name_m]Hendrik[/name_m] [name_m]Willem[/name_m]. Rosephine is interesting, is it actually [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]?

Rosephine is correct, I believe the mother is a minor celebrity so people were reacting to both names because they’re both rather odd.

Wow, I surprisingly love Rosephine. :slight_smile: Other than that I like Liselot, [name_f]Georgine[/name_f], [name_f]Madelief[/name_f], [name_m]Friso[/name_m], [name_f]Milou[/name_f] and [name_m]Pepijn[/name_m] (though I believe I’ll mispronounce this from time to time). Thanks for sharing. :slight_smile:

@honnepon, I am delighted you posted this, thank –you. I just wish I had a better knowledge of the surrounding countries & their names/sound choices, to really appreciate and see comparisons.
To me (Aussie) what an amazing mixture of names in terms –I would ignorantly guess -of old traditional names, mixed culture, as you suggest, and just straight Anglo recognisable names which of course could be traditional Dutch too. Vosse- ? I know not any background on this name but contrasts well to [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], [name_f]Juliette[/name_f] & [name_f]Gwendoline[/name_f].
First I note one [name_f]Doutzen[/name_f] at least - to be expected as a ‘celeb copy’- if not just because it’s a traditional name.
Then Florentien/ [name_u]Florian[/name_u]/ [name_f]Florence[/name_f] / [name_u]Floris[/name_u]/ [name_u]Florentine[/name_u] x2 /Floremijn & [name_u]Floris[/name_u] – this seems like a popular trend around [name_f]Flor[/name_f]…
And 2nd
[name_f]Feline[/name_f]/ Philou/ [name_f]Felina[/name_f]/ [name_f]Filippa[/name_f]/ [name_f]Philippine[/name_f]/ [name_m]Philip[/name_m]/ [name_f]Filippa[/name_f]/ [name_f]Filippa[/name_f]/ [name_f]Filippa[/name_f]/ [name_m]Philip[/name_m]/ Féline/ Philia/ [name_f]Felicia[/name_f] & maybe [name_f]Fenna[/name_f] -seems another.
Some trend to [name_u]Julie[/name_u]/ette names, and [name_m]Julius[/name_m] (2 or 3) (one of my very favourites for a boy)
Rozemarijn- so lovely in this Dutch spelling.
[name_f]Bente[/name_f] – I love names like [name_f]Bente[/name_f], -I like Irish Biachra or Bracha too – they have a ‘je ne sais quoi?’- not frilly appeal.
Floks –is now my absolute favorite nickname for a girl- it’s gorgeous.
And one [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I could have guessed it was the NRC just by looking at the names. That or the Volkskrant. There are some interesting names in there. One of them being Vosse. I kind of like it. It has a very soft sound so I think the baby might be a girl.

[name_m]How[/name_m] do you pronounce Vosse ? how many syllables,2?
Thanks.

Good one. Vos-suh would be closest I think. And yes, 2 syllables.

So many lovely choices! My favourites are:
