Love it!

I plan on using it one day as a MN. My brother is Constantijn "Stijn", so that's why it's pretty likely I will really use it if I ever have a son.

How do you pronounce Stijn?

Stijn = STIEN (IE like in the word 'lie'), with a different accent the sound comes close to STAIN. So somewhere inbetween STIEN and STAIN :)

(just like the end of my name by the way, Marjolijn)

Cool, thanks. Unfortunately having a nickname almost sounding like stain wouldn't go down too well in Australia! I think most people here wouldn't be aware of that nickname option anyway.
