I have a dd and a ds already. We are dutch speakers and our children have dutch names. It's a pain having to constantly correct spellings though. So this time we are looking for short names that work in both languages.
What do you think of Lynn for a girl? Any other suggestions for short (phonetic) names?

I think Lynn is a bit dowdy in England. It reminds me of Alan Partridge's PA "Lynn! It's hotter than the sun!" Grin

How about Anne? Jess? Kate? Beth?
