Goswin

You currently have Goswin listed as being archaic in the Dutch-speaking world, i.e. it is no longer in use. That is incorrect: there are still living Dutch and Belgian bearers of the name, some of which you can find on Facebook and LinkedIn. As such, the name is just rare instead of archaic:

I would like to add that Goswin was also used in medieval Germany, and is still used in Germany today. The prevalence of the name in modern Germany appears to be more or less equal to its prevalence in the Netherlands today:
