Dutch girls' names

[Wildwaterfalls]

Only 8 wks pg so getting ahead of myself, but DD1 has a lovely traditional Dutch name (won't disclose as will out me!). I'd quite like something along the same lines if DC2 is a girl.

So please give me your favourite Dutch girls' names! Ideally that work in English so eg not something like Loes (loose??!) or Sjoukje (sp/pn nightmare).

TIA

Lotta?

Mariska

Saskia
Wendalina/Wendy
Beatrice

Isa
Lente
Aafke
Sanne
Merel
Ilse
Lisanne
Elize
Lotte
Mieke

Thanks all. Liking Isa and Sanne (does that work in English?)

I love, love Saskia. When I was at school there was the most beautiful girl with that name. She had dark blonde hair and peachy skin and the most wonderful, graceful, posture.

Can't have Saskia unfortunately as I have a good friend called that.

Have been pondering Vivian but looking for more ideas.

Isa is quite pretty, I think, but reminds me of a savings account. I would have no idea how to pronounce Sanne.

Lottie?

Vivian is nice.

Drika, Else/Elise, Ida, Johanna, Louisa, Marike, Paulien, Thera?
I used to know a lovely Dutch lady called Karin.

I think Sanne would be fine, unless you'd be very bothered about some mispronounciations. (I'm assuming it's pronounced San-neh?)

Oh good list Noo. A couple I love but DH has vetoed (Johanna, Marieke). Elise is lovely but too close to DD1's name. And we have a Karin in the family already. Really love all those names though.

Yes, Sanne is San-neh. Glad you like Vivian

Anneke?

I like Sanne too. I know a couple of (Scandinavian) Sannas. There may be a problem with pronounciation for the names with an 'e' on the end - the English won't automatically say the 'eh' sound, I reckon. Depends how much psychic pain it would cause you!

Thanks all. I'm adding Kim and Valerie to the list and pondering some of the others.

Also still quite like Katrine but when I've suggested it on here previously people thought of latrine

My lovely Dutch friend is called Marije - I've always loved that name.
