Jan Maarten

Hi, would you guys have any more suggestions? We're still not quite settled on the second name, which is going to be a tribute to Jan Maarten. His twin brother will be called Henri, and for Jan Maarten we've come up with:
Mark (but we prefer 2 syllables, given the twin brother)
Jasper
Joas (it's on the list, but there's already a nephew with that name)
We're looking for names in a similar style. Do you have any ideas? Thanks

    Joas is of course my favorite because my own son has that name, but I wouldn't choose it myself if a nephew had it.

    Marten, Jesper, and Jean-Marc are also options.

    I think Mark is a really nice name :-)

    Maybe consider Marcus, Mark-Jan, Michael, Michel instead.

    Johan. Martin, Martien

    Thanks for your ideas! Some names are out because of family members with those names. It’s silly that you don’t like some beautiful names just because the person you know with that name isn’t super nice (awkward sentence).
    Martin or Martijn is also an idea.
    Or can Henri and Mark just go together?

    Yes, I think Mark is a great name.

    Mark is at number 1. We both like it more than Joas, indeed, because of family. Handy those opinions
