Re: top 20 Dutch names 2013

Yes, well spotted. That was Liam :)
Elin would be AY-lin in Dutch.
Yes, Saar is a shortened variant of Sara. It's pronounced SAH:RH (and Sara is SAH:-rhah, so it's phonetically the first syllable of Sara).
Compare:
Floor - Flora
Noor - Nora
Veer - Vera
Roos - Rosa
Daan - Daniël (Daniel)
I agree about Jayden and I've got the same feeling about Lynn on the girls side. It just feel out of place.
