Frisian names

Hi!
My dad is from Friesland and my husband's parents are too. So we'd love to give our upcoming child a Frisian name. Which Frisian names do you think are nice? I could use some more inspiration. My husband has a son from a previous marriage, his name is Melle.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings, Jette, on behalf of my husband Remco

    I’ve always liked the name Sinne for a girl. Meaning: sun.
