And just for the record:

#1. Two middle names (or more) are common here.

#2. The 'ij' sound does not exist in English, but it's very close to the English 'i'. In turn, the Dutch 'i' is pronounced like the English 'e'!

#3. I'd be happy to answer other pronunciation questions!

*Edited to add LJ cut!

Yeah, Olivier is the Dutch version of Oliver. It's pronounced differently, though, Olivier = OH-lee-fee-r.
