Looking for some cool retro names!

MarloesGuest ·
Hi there! I'm looking for some nice vintage/retro names for both a girl and a boy. By that I mean old-school, a bit old-fashioned, but not the well-known Ot- and Sien names like Mees/Teun/Gijs or Saar/Fien/Jet. They don't have to be Dutch necessarily, just classic names that you don't hear much anymore. More like Ida/Frida/Alice/Ellie/Paula or Isaak/Oscar/August/Leo. Do you have any other ideas? Thanks in advance! Marloes

    Our daughter was born! Thanks to Liha for the idea! Her name is Leonie. We really wanted three initials (we think it looks nice), so we had to look for a second and third name too. The second name became Cecilia (thanks to Anouk) and the third name Amarens (found by ourselves). So the little lady's full name is Leonie Cecilia Amarens de Vos born on December 1, 2021.

    Hazel for a girl? Although it might be confusing pronunciation-wise in the Netherlands. I think the name is beautiful anyway!

    Congratulations! It was nice that we could help think along
