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?

ooh I have this situation too.

It's very hard - my DH is Dutch - we're going for names that are reasonably known in both English and Dutch... Interestingly we have a lot of Spanish names (Raphael for instance).

My neice is named Anouk, if you like that. Nora/Noor is very popular over there too at the moment.
