Hi everyone,
Our daughter is named Brechtje, after a dear one. Now I'm pregnant with baby #2, and we don't want to name him/her after someone. So we're looking for a name that fits with Brecht/Brechtje... Do you have any ideas? We don't know the gender yet. The last name is Van Dongen.
Love, Tess

    Thank you so much, ladies!
    Normally we don’t really go for old-fashioned names, but Brechtje is definitely one of those. We like it when it fits well. It makes sense to look in the more traditional corner, but we’d prefer not to go too far into “old-school” territory.

    From your list, we really like these names: Fedde, Fijs, Jurre, Mathijs, Thijmen, and Femke, Carice, Nienke/Nynke, Veerle.

    Thanks again! New suggestions are still very welcome!
    Love, Tess

    Under "name with Denne," I've also put a lot of names that I think fit well with Brechtje. Maybe there's something in there for you too.

    Hi ladies!
    We’re so proud to share that last week, on June 7, 2020, our Sunday baby was born.
    Our beautiful son is named
    Thijs Olivier, nickname Thijs

    Thijs was born at 37 weeks, but everything’s going great and we’re already cozy at home.
    Now fully enjoying our little family.

    Thanks everyone! And especially @Anouk, because we came across Thijs thanks to your Mathijs!

    Love, Tess (my full name is Tessa, so it doesn’t look too bad haha) and Pim, Brechtje and Thijs van Dongen
