Daughters are Nynke (Paula Maria) and Famke (Hannah Marleen). Which boy's name do you think fits best here? Other options are welcome, because we don't know anything for sure yet. The second and third names will be Jacob Herre.

    Guus or tije, do you pronounce that as tij?

    I think Sjors is the cutest! It sounds upbeat and cheerful to me! I also really like Tije!
    I think these names look the best with Nynke and Famke. They all flow a bit smoother than, say, Dirk.
    Although I do think Dirk is a nice name too.
    Guus is nice too, but it's not my preference!
    Mats isn't really my taste...

    Good luck!

    I like Guus the best. So cheerful.

    I voted for Tije, Mats I also find quite nice. Dirk absolutely not.

    Thanks for all the replies.
    Tije is pronounced as tij-juh. It's a two-syllable name.
    We're still really torn. One day it's one name, but the next day there's another name on the list.

    I think Sjors and Guus are the best. But honestly, I think all of them are pretty good. I also like that kind of names. I wanted to name my son Guus, but my husband didn't like it that much. He always thought of "Guus kom naar huus" (Guus come home). And we have family in Twente, so it really rhymes. So we made it Gijs.

    And Tijn?

    I personally don't like Sjors (comic heroes: Sjors & Jimmie), or he'd have to explain that it's not George.
    The others are all pretty tough. Nynke, Famke, and Tije sound nice together.

    We are super happy with the birth of our little boy, Guus Jacob Herre. Guus was born on March 3rd, a week ago, and he measures 49 cm long and weighs 3132 grams. He's relatively small because he was born 3 weeks early. Nynke and Famke are super proud, and so are we, of our little guy. Thank you for all the advice. Love, Noor, Willem, Nynke, Famke, and Guus.
