Baby Names
Ties, Job, Ivo, Kai, or Will(em)
AnonymousGuest ·
Hi everyone,
We have a shortlist after 22 weeks and are finding it hard to choose a name for our first baby. We both prefer 2-syllable names. My husband has a Dutch name, and my name is easy to pronounce in both Dutch and English.
For our son, we have a few names in mind that we like, but they don't quite give us that 'wow' feeling. We're looking for a short (ideally 1 syllable), tough (Dutch) name. Suggestions are welcome! One thing to note: our last name starts with an 'S', so we're consciously avoiding first names with an 'S' so our son doesn't end up with a weird monogram

I really think Kai is cool and cool!
I also think this is the most favorite from your list!
I also find Ties and Ivo quite nice.
Job is okay, not bad at all.
And Will(em) is not my taste.
Good luck with your choice and enjoy your pregnancy! -

Love them all! Only not Will, but Willem is okay.
Here are some other options for you:
Jibbe / Joes / Bent / Brent / Jan / Pepijn / Niek / Wiek / Loek / Lars / Luuk / Frank / Faas / Maas -

Thank you so much for the suggestions and for voting... We're leaning towards the top 2: Ties and Kai, but with a slight preference for Ties because this name has been on our minds for so long.
Yesterday I realized that Jim could also be a nice name.. it's tricky making these choices!
N - I also like the suggestions you're making - especially Brent. My husband likes Luuk, but I know a Luuk that I don't really like... and secretly I do make associations with certain names and people

This week, a Kai was born in our neighborhood to a couple we know... Since we were torn between Ties and Kai, it'll most likely be Ties! Thank you so much for the help and for thinking along with us
