Re: Thoughts on these names?
in reply to a message by Mar
Rodin - Share the same kind of sound as many popular names in the US, could see it work there. I'm personally not a fan though
Jerom - I haven't seen this spelling before. I've never liked the sound or look of Jerom/Jerome.
Han - Swedish word for "he" so that's what I think of, and also some random Chinese/Asian guy
Fender - as in a boat fender? Nope...
Falko - It's okay, but would prefer it spelled Falco
Berend - Not sure what to think. I've never seen it before and I don't particularly like it but I've seen way worse.
Sybrand - No thanks. Dislike the look/sound
Fardau - Sounds arabic to me.
Wessel - Imagine twin boys names Fender and Wessel (vessel).
Anemoon - Honeymoon?
Vlinder - not sure how to pronounce this, if I didn't know better I'd expect it to be Indian.
Veerle - Not for me, but I've seen worse
Imme - Sounds very nicknamey
Feia - It's alright
Merel - I quite like it, and I like how it looks
Pip - Swedish word for 'beep' so I just think of the word, or Pip as a masculine nickname
Rozemarijn - Not a fan, regardless of spelling
Sanderijn "San" - Looks/sounds masculine
My favorites are Falko and Merel
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

I'm surprised Merel seems to be the favourite so far.
And I see you're not really a fan of Dutch names then? ;)
I had expected people to see Anemoon and would instantly make the connection to Anemone, I never thought about Honeymoon!
Beep is Piep in Dutch, so it isn't even that far off, but oddly I never made that connection.
Thanks for your opinion

Anemoon is pronounced "ah-nu-MAWN."
