We're looking for a timeless name for our second child. The gender is unknown, which is why we're creating two polls; one for a boy's name and one for a girl's name.

We have the following requirements: Dutch, easy to spell, not too popular but also not unique, max 2 syllables. We have a daughter named ANNE. This is a good example of our 'requirements list'; we consciously chose Anne instead of Anna, because Anna was so trendy. Since our daughter is named Anne, we'd like a name that does NOT start with an A. Preferably no names starting with an R either, because my partner and I are named Rens and Romy. The middle name and last name fit all the names.

Which name do you think fits best so far? Other names are also welcome, because we still have a little time

    Iris remains a beautiful name. Not weird, not as popular as, say, Roos. Nice and Dutch, but also perfectly usable abroad.

    Would you say Juu-lie instead of Zjuu-lie (because it sounds French to my ears and you're looking for NL)? I think Julie is really sweet, but the pronunciation might be confusing then. I don't like Merel and Lena, but I like the rest of your list! Linde also has a lovely sound, Iris is a bit more spunky.
