Diem or Ries?

We're torn between two names for our second son: Diem and Ries. Our first son is named Juus. Which do you think fits best?

    I like Ries the most and it also fits Juus the best!

    Thanks for thinking along!

    Tricky, because the names aren't really my style.
    I think I find Ries more beautiful, but since Juus also ends in an 's', I feel they're too similar. So I think I'd go with Diem after all.

    Yes, exactly. That’s what we thought too. We’re also considering Boet now. So tricky! And I’m due in a week already outy:

  5. Anouk Guest #6

    No, I wouldn't really go for Boef. It reminds me of a real tough guy, you know...

  6. Chantal Guest #7

    No, not Boef but Boet.

  7. Anouk Guest #8

    Oh, oops... Misread.
    But then I'd definitely go for Boet, nice

    And what do you think of Duuk?
    I find Diem nicer than Ries, but neither is really my style...
    Boet... I have an association with that and it's like a very old guy haha, so I can hardly see it for a baby haha

    Thank you :-)

    I also think Duuk is a really nice name. But a friend's son is already called Duuk.

    Oh haha yeah then it's tricky indeed.
    Daaf?

  12. Chantal Guest #13

    I thought it was really nice too! But my boyfriend didn't

    Boet I find cool
    Otherwise Diem from your options, Ries I find a bit less.

    Thank you so much for your reply :-)

    Boet I think is really nice! More fun than Diem and Ries. Here are some more ideas:
    Juus and Rink
    Juus and Laut
    Juus and Roef
    Juus and Tijl
    Juus and Rijk
    Juus and Theij/Tij/Teij
    Juus and Rens
    Juus and Sees
    Juus and Fons
    Juus and Ids
    Juus and Mels
    Juus and Miel
    Juus and Loet
    Juus and Nijs

    Boet, that's so lovely

    Thank you so much for all the lovely names!
    A lot of them were already on my list, but unfortunately, my partner and I aren't quite on the same page. Boet he likes, so there's a good chance that's the name we'll go with :-)

    I personally don't think Diem and Ries are great either. It makes me think of construction workers calling out to each other like that. I do think Boet is really nice and fits well with Juus.

    Thank you so much for your reply! It's becoming clearer now :-)
