Pretty Dutch Girl's Names

[Chloris33]

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?

Just deleted a few but: Marika, Anneke, Sabina, Caterina, Maria, Mina or Lieve, Liv, Sterre if you change the spelling!

Rose/Roos, Ellie, Elke, Sanne.

Elisabeth - "Bep"

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.

Marijn, Anneke, Simcha, Karen.

I knew an Alida who went by Lida

Dineke
Madelon

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.

delete 'other'. Typing alongside my 2 year old' squirms!

Beatrix

Lotte (but pronunciation might be an issue!)
Mieke

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!

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

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

Chloris, Anouk and Marlise, are both very lovely.
I love Marlise !

I love the name Anouk!

Liselotte

Love this name! Have never heard it before.

I love Mieke and Sjouka
