What do you think of the name Douwe?

Hi everyone, I'm about to give birth to our third child and I'm hesitating about the name Douwe. We live in Brabant (no Frisian roots), and our daughter also has a Frisian name. If you have other ideas for a boy's name that fits well with Famke, I'd love to hear them!

    Oh... you should really just do what you think looks nice. What does it matter what I think?
    Because... I don't really think Famke is a Frisian name anymore. You come across it more often and it's fairly assimilated. Douwe, on the other hand, I find very Frisian. And I know someone named that, so that clouds my perception.
    I'd rather think of Famke and Koen, or Famke and Wouter. Those are also Frisian boys' names, but more assimilated.
    Otherwise, have another look at this list: https://www.friesland-post.nl/friese-namen-op-rij/

    And... just do what you think looks nice!! Good luck.

    That's so nice, also with Famke! Is Rink still available?
