How are Thijs and Stijn pronounced? Jayden made me do a double take.

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

The 'ij' sound does not exist in English, but it's very close to the English 'i' sound.

So basically they're pronounced like Tice and Stine.

Anouk (though I wouldn't use it)

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that Jayden is on there since it seems to be taking over the world but I admit I am a little surprised.

It's pronounced like LEE-que (with the 'que' like in Spanish ;)).

Haha, well I suppose your name is still very popular over here! ;)

I like Dutch names. Seems like Sophie, Julia, Emma, Anna, Eva, Lisa, and Sara are popular all over the world. And Jasmijn surprises me!

Ugh, Jayden!

My favorite Dutch name has always been Anneliese.
