Do you have any ideas?

Hi! I'm Evelijn, together with my partner Joost, and I'm pregnant with our first girl. We want to name our little girl after our grandmas (so their grandmothers) who are still alive and happy. We'd like a more modern given name that can be derived from the old-fashioned names of the grandmas. We did the same with our son: he was named after our grandpas: grandpa 1 was called S.tevanus F.rederik and grandpa 2 G.ijsbertus H.endrikus A.ntonius. That was easy, two 'Rik's, so our son is called Rick. Now we want to do the same for our upcoming daughter. Do you have any good ideas? Grandma 1: "Aaltje" Aleida Helena Gezina Grandma 2: Maria Adriaantje Dorothea We already thought of Doortje (Aaltje + Dorothea), Aida (Adriaantje + Aleida), Lenthe (Helena + Dorothea). It's quite a puzzle! Thanks!

    Doortje is super cute!

    Maartje and Daantje, which Anouk suggested, I also think are really nice!
