HelpRe: Opinions on a strange Dutch name...
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
Oh, thanks for that last article!
I laughed so hard as Margot as “Mar-rhfhghghhfh-o”. Lol, so true! To be honest, I'd even avoid names with a G, because of the sound 'above the rivers'. Being from the south, it's not even pleasant to hear to my ears. In speech it's okay, but I wouldn't want to have a name with a G here...
It also reminds me of when my brother went on an exchange with Germany. He's Stijn, but there they were baffled, thinking he was called 'stein' (= 'stone' in German).
I've had hell with Marjolijn in New Zealand as well. I got so annoyed at being called Moylin and Marilyn.
