Baby Names
Old Dutch, but not too old-fashioned.
I'm expecting a girl! We love old Dutch names, but not too old-fashioned. Which names do you think are old Dutch, but not too old-fashioned? Which ones would you choose? We already have a son named: Rens.
We're torn between:
Marie - Jet - Mies - Janne - Nele - Neeltje - Loes
The second and third names will be Elizabeth (we just think it's beautiful) and Claesje (named after our great-grandfather). The order depends on the first name, on what sounds nice.
Thank you,
Josefien (and of course Joost and Rens)

Rens is beautiful
Otherwise: Marie, Nele and my favorite: Janne! I think that one is really hip

I think the name Wiep is really nice with Rens!
Nele is also beautiful, or Janne, but I hear that one a lot more often. -

I'd go for Jet. I don't think it fits super well with Rens, but on its own it's really the cutest name in the bunch. With Rens, I think Marie or Janne fit the best. -
