We both like Noah but my Fiancee is Dutch and we can't think of any Dutch names we both like, and that I can pronounce! Any suggestions?

I like the name Schuyler (pronounced Sky-lar), I had a Dutch friend at school called that, shortened to Sky. It's a lovely name imo.

My brother lives in Holland and has a (Dutch) friend called Noah, so I think that would work fine. The stress is on the second syllable (No-AH), not the first like in English (NO-ah). All the rest of his Dutch friends have English names - Jonathan, Michael, Richard, etc. I like Cornelius, which is more common over there, but I realise it might be a bit too 'out there' for some. Rudy is a very popular Dutch name, but not so common over here. Matthijs (Ma-TICE) is nice and could be shortened to Matt or Matty and I agree with GOML that Schuyler is a lovely name - it's on my longlist if I was to have a DS. Why not go for Noah and have a more obviously Dutch name as a MN?

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
