Dutch names or similar

BabyVDMBabyVDM member
in March 2014 Moms
Anyone out there of Dutch origin?  Or Finn, Estonian etc?

Can you suggest a few dutch girl names?

I'm not but so trying to come up with good name suggestions for the girls is really hard.

Any website suggestions would also be welcome aswell.

Not asking for someone to name my babies, just I need a place to start.

    Nameberry had this list - https://nameberry.com/list/356/Dutch-Baby-Names-for-Girls

    I also have a friend on my first board who named her daughter Kaatje. That's cute!

    Actually my father was born in Amsterdam, some names from my family: Ans pronounced (ahnce) Els, Truce, Annamieke (ah-na-meeka) meeka for short, my Oma's (grandmother's) name is Catharina (catha-reena) Tine (tina) for short, it is also my aunt and cousin's name but they go by Tinieke (tin-eh-ka). It is very difficult to explain how these names are pronounced. I wish you could hear me! Nielce (kneel-Che) Bets. My Oma was the oldest of 7 children, I think I covered all the girls. I didn't get a Dutch name except for my maiden name though ;)

    I don't know if this is actually dutch but I had twin friends growing up in Israel whose mom was dutch and her name was Ria. Another one that I know is dutch is Katen, (don't know what it means) but you could call her kate or katy as a nickname.

    I'm Dutch :-)... My name is Marije (a little bit like Maraya), really Dutch and comes from Maria. On this website you can find the top 20: https://www.svb.nl/int/nl/kinderbijslag/kindernamen/top20/. meisje=girl... On the bottom there is a link with the names of all babies born in 2012, you can choose a ranking based on popularity or based on alphabetical order. My absolute favorite is Cato (CatO, so not CAto). Good luck! (I'm back to lurking again)

    @linzerd

    Thanks for the great list of suggestions.

    DH has an acquaintance we call Mickie... and forever I've been trying to figure out what her real name is.  Turns out it is Annameika.  Like the name, but not enough to have this woman think we named our kids after her!  LOL

    And thanks to everyone else for putting in some ideas. 

    Really appreciate all the suggestions.  We don't have too long before these girls arrive and they are going to need names.  We found out recently that they don't let you leave the hospital until you've named them.  Which is not what I am used to.  My sisters had their babies home for weeks before they settled on names.
