We're looking for an uncommon Frisian girl's name...

We've already decided on a boy's name, but for a girl... it's tricky!

We don't want an old-fashioned Frisian name... (Lobke, Tsjitske...)

Preferably a short name...

I hope to find it here

    Well, my name is Fries, but I see it more and more often. According to the statistics, this name was especially popular around 1900: http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/naam/is/Rinske...
    Good luck!

    My friend's daughter has Ieme as her middle name, and according to her, it's a Frisian name.

    I recently saw that a Meske was born somewhere. I initially thought it was Frisian, but it turns out to be a Flemish dialect that actually means girl. I think it sounds nice!

    Jotte

    Jitte or Jitske

    I heard from my sister recently about such a beautiful Frisian girl's name, really lovely. I'll ask around for it for you!

    @ guest: Jitte was already on my list, also really nice!!!

  12. Ariana Guest #13

    I'm really curious, Iza!

    Ise I think is a nice Frisian name.. and I also think Jinte is nice.
    My husband didn't like either of them, so that's why they were taken off the list, but maybe you both like them.

    Good luck!

  14. Mijke Guest #15

    My own name is Frisian

    Elske, Rigt, Mette, or Bente.
    I think they're all beautiful, unfortunately my boyfriend doesn't. We're still not sure...
