Pretty Dutch Girl's Names

I'm half Dutch and considering a Dutch name for DD, if there's one that's pretty, and not too hard to pronounce for British people. Saskia is a family name, which I love, but can't use. Any others you can think of?

I used to spend a lot of time in the Netherlands, and noticed that many of the Dutch people I met had "imported" names.

I know Dutch sisters called Gina and Roxanne - but I'm not sure how Dutch their names actually are

I love Marlise !

I don't know how Dutch it is, but I know a Dutch Lisette and I think it's a beautiful name

LizzieMacQueen · 28/05/2017 13:04

what's your 2 year old daughter/son called?

sheepashwap · 28/05/2017 13:03

But after Beatrix (for being a dual name) it's definitely Anouk for me. Strong and pretty name. Can't get more Dutch than that combination!

Lotte (but pronunciation might be an issue!)
Mieke

Thanks. Yes, I was thinking a name that is Dutch in other origin. We like Anouk. Quite like Nora, though DH not convinced. Another kind of like Marlies, but would have to spell it Marlise to avoid it being mispronounced.
