My sister in law is pregnant. I asked her if she had names ready for when the little duke is born and she said yes. Then we had a little conversation (she is a teacher) that she didnt have a name that was very common like 5th [name]Grace[/name] in the class. She also didnt want YOUNEEK names, that u have to think about how they are pronounced.
And then i though about my namelist. Those are all english names and i started wondering if i had to change the list because i dont want anyone to have to wonder how to pronounce it because we speak dutch here. There are names like [name]Amber[/name] and [name]Jacob[/name] that have a clearly dutch and english pronunciation and i would mind say; its english pronounced! I adore unisex/boys names for girls but as many said im thinking about searching alternatives because i dont want them to be too mistaken for a boy: id take it as a middle name instead. So if anyone has suggestions for (english or dutch) more fem names… I dont like Violets or [name]Daphne[/name]'s or Graces…
So i wanted to ask you guys something: Who can give me a list of dutch names so i can find something, a name that i love more then [name]Logan[/name] or [name]Riley[/name]. I searched heaven and hell but only found 3 names, 1 I adore but dont know the meaning, 2 i like but not love.
-> [name]Nalin[/name], [name]Amber[/name] and Renske
for boys i think id be easier to ‘keep’ the english names i love: [name]Jacob[/name], [name]Emmett[/name], [name]Tyson[/name] and [name]Wyatt[/name]. If dutch i dont want [name]Jacob[/name], dont like the sound. [name]Emmett[/name] has thesame pron in Dutch, [name]Wyatt[/name] 'd be a little difficult. [name]Tyson[/name] could work but not as the only english name with dutch bros and sisters.
next Q: howd you guys pron [name]Nalin[/name]? I adore the name and if i go for a dutch nametheme i probably gonna use it (its for a girl)
Ill list my current fave and id like your opinion if id go dutch or stay with the names i currently adore (they can change as I get pregnant in 10 years or so)
