Doeka or Djoeke

8 replies

EvaGuest ·
We're expecting two girls. One of them is going to be called Doeka or Djoeke. We haven't quite decided yet. Which one do you think looks the nicest? And do you have any suggestions for middle names to go with Doeka or Djoeke? We have a few names on our list: Ninthe, Bregje, Yentl, and Guusje. But these names will most likely not be used because they're too similar to names of nieces/daughters of friends, or we just don't get that wow feeling with them.

    Djoeke has a not-so-nice meaning in my dialect
    I like Guus(je) and Brecht(je) better from your list. Doeka isn't really my thing

    I know a girl named Djoeke, and I really like it. Frisian, I guess? I also know a Doeke, but that's a boy.

    Djoeke is a lovely name!

    Then Djoeke. Better than Doeka.
    I think all the other names on your list are much nicer. Maybe Sjoukje?

    I think Djoeke is nicer, but personally not a big fan. I find Bregje and Guusje much prettier! Maybe another option: Dieke?

    Djoeke is really a top choice, very unique. I can imagine you're hesitating because it stands out. Bregje and Guusje are also very sweet, but a bit more classic. Dieke is a nice spelling for Doeke, I get that. I'm sticking with Djoeke, it sounds so fresh and strong.
