Does Femke sound too Frisian?

Hi everyone,
We like the name Femke for a girl. But we're wondering if it's really a Frisian name or if it's used in other parts of the Netherlands too. We live in the province of Utrecht.

    And it doesn't sound too Frisian.

    I think Opzicht is a nice name.

    Nice name, though. I also don't think it sounds very Frisian... You sometimes read it as Famke too.

    With Femke, I find it's not too bad. But Famke sounds really Frisian to me.

    Yes, Femke is super Dutch, hihi
    but I think it can also be used really well in other provinces.
    Beautiful name!!

    I know a Femke in South Holland. Never thought someone would find out it's Frisian..
