I'm just 6 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and we are already talking names. We are looking for Dutch names. Our last name is tenBroek (my father in law is Dutch) For a boy we are going with Jacobus (family name) and for a girl we have Annika Katrine (our girl name from last baby, who turned out to be a boy named Nicolaas) I'm looking for a good strong middle name to go with Jacobus. I don't really like the shortenings for Jacobus (Jake, or Co, generally) so I want a middle name that we can use for the name we CALL him. I'm leaning towards Jacobus Alexander, and calling him Xander. DH isn't so sure. Does anyone have other ideas of names with a Dutch background?? BTW his siblings are DeOrian Leigh (Dori for short... DeOrian is an Armenian family surname from mother in laws side) and Nicolaas Zivnuska (Nic for short... another family name from the Dutch side). Any thoughts are appreciated!
