    Hello,
    
    
    Does anyone know of any Dutch names? We are looking for girl and boys
    names that originated in Holland.
    
    Thanks very much,
    
    Cindy

|     Hey, this is something I have a little knowledge about...my father was
    born in Holland and so each of us kids got at least one Dutch
    name...Here are some of them that I can think of...
    
    Girls
    -----
    
    Beta
    Shilah - meaning "To whom it belongs" pronounced shy-la
    Saskia - pronounced sas-key-ya
    Marijka - pronounced ma-ri-ka
    Dina
    Henny
    Yasminah (my cousin's...she goes by Minah)
    Remke
    Margot
    Floor
    Wil
    Mieka
    
    Boys
    ----
    
    Bernardus (family name, not one I am personally fond of)
    Johannes
    George
    Godfried
    Han(s)
    
    Those are some that come to mind quickly...I'll post anymore that I
    remember.  Several of the names of my Dutch relatives are fairly common
    "American" names...i.e. Michael, Ben, Bart, Jack, etc...
