Baby Names
First daughter
AnnaGuest ·
Hi everyone,
We’re expecting our first baby girl!
I had to get used to the idea; always thought I’d have boys! But now I’m on the hunt for the perfect name.
She’s half Korean, half Dutch.
I prefer names that are fairly short, easy to pronounce as they’re spelled, and have a nice “look” to them. (Oh, what if I were a teacher and had to deal with kids who’d have to spell their names for 90 years? Hihi...)
I’m leaning toward Dutch names and old-time classics... Sophie, Rosa, Emma...
My partner isn’t keen on very Dutch names (Guusje, Teuntje, etc.) and would rather avoid top-20 names. (My counter: There’s a reason they’re top 20! Haha)
A double name is also an option... We’d love a middle name that honors someone. My mom’s name is Elsa Lovisa (Yep... Elsa and Anna. Blonde and brunette...) and his mom’s name is Christa.
Bring it on! ;-)
Thanks in advance!

My daughter's name is Edy, not very common, easy to pronounce and not difficult to spell,

Your mom has such beautiful names! Is she Scandinavian? By the way, I also like Christa. So naming shouldn't be too difficult!
I'm really fond of the names Elsa and Else. Could that possibly be an option as a first name?
I'm also not really into the top 20. I like these names:
Lise, Noor, Flore, Sophia, Cato, Isabel, Bente, Ella, Fiene, Merel, Jasmijn, Jula, Mette, Feline, Romee, Suze, Mia, Elin, Stella, Marie, Hanna, Veerle, Linde, Madee, Ise -
Anna started this #5
Yes, my grandma is Swedish ;-)
Thanks ladies! -
Anna started this #6
And Elsa as a first name... unfortunately, I find it less successful since Frozen ;-) The name has suddenly become so popular. And Elsa and Anna together, absolutely ;-) -

Lotte Suze Loes Loïse Saar Sara Evi Pippa Sanne Hannah Tamar Ise Isa Dana Nora Margot Nina Livia Nikki
Loïse could also be nice as a memorial name:
Lo (LOvisa) Ïs (ChrISta) E (Elsa) = Loïse
