Re: New Here and Looking for Advice and Help on a Name for Baby #2
in reply to a message by avaunt_garde
I really like Nicolaas John.
My husbands name is Nicolaas (Nico) and he gets quite frustrated because no one ever pronounces his full name correctly, just something to keep in mind if you're not living Dutch speaking area.

I'm sure it will be mispronounced, Adriaan is often mispronounced and no one spells Arie correctly, but I want my kids to have nice names that aren't trendy and aren't common, and tie into our heritage and personal lives. Luckily some in my town might since part of it was founded by Dutch immigrants. At the moment my other son likes his name, obviously he's four though and that will probably change. Still, I think Adriaan James is a wonderful name and I am sure I'll never regret naming him that.
My two favorites are Nicolaas John and Nicolaas Gordon, but it's still undetermied. :)
Thanks, and my apologies for the drawn out reply, haha!
