HelpMost popular Dutch names in 1989
This are the most popular names in the Netherlands in the year I was born (1989). I added the pronunciations of the names that are pronounced different here.
So WDYT?
Girlsnames
1 Maria (mah-REE-ah)
2 Laura (I can't really explain this one. It sound the most like LOW-ra)
3 Anne (AHN-nuh)
4 Sanne (SAHN-nuh)
5 Johanna (yo-HAHN-nah
6 Kim
7 Linda
8 Chantal (shahn-TAHL)
9 Anna (AHN-nah)
10 Samantha (sah-MAHN-tah)
11 Denise (both Duh-NEES and duh-NEE-nuh)
12 Stephanie (stef-FAH-nee)
13 Esther (ES-tur)
14 Michelle (both MEE-shel and MEE-shel-luh are used).
15 Daniëlle (dah-NEE-el-luh)
16 Suzanne (suy-SAHN-nuh and suy-SAHN)
17 Anouk (ahn-NOOK)
18 Joyce
19 Elisabeth (ay-LEE-ah-bet)
20 Sharon (SHAH-rohn and SHER-un are both used)
Boysnames
1 Johannes (yo-HAHN-nuhs)
2 Kevin
3 Jeroen (Yuh-ROON)
4 Thomas (TO-mahs)
5 Mark
6 Tim
7 Jan (JAHN)
8 Dennis
9 Roy
10 Robin
11 Michael
12 Martijn (mahr-TIEN is what it looks like the most)
13 Patrick
14 Stefan (STAY-fahn)
15 Jeffrey
16 Nick
17 Rick
18 Niels (NEELS)
19 Bart
20 Sander (SAHN-dur)
The names that are still (or again) in the top 20:
Girls: Sanne, Anne, Anna and Anouk
Boys: Thomas, Tim and Niels
I personally was very suprised about Maria, Elisabeth, Johanna and Johannes. Those names seem so old fashioned. And I never heard it on people around my age. Maybe they where called by a nickname?
I like:
Anna
Thomas
Sander
Bart
Stefan

the Maria thing
I know, when I first read it a while ago, I was little surprised too, but think of how many Marlies, Marloes, Marianne, Marleen and other Mar-names are out there. Maria Elisabeth would be the official name, but they would go by Marlies. :)
I like a lot of these names, although a few are a little too dated.
