Re: meaning of name
in reply to a message by Liza
Famke is pronounced fem-kah, although my teachers seem to have some conspiracy to all pronounce it "fame-k" when they first meet me. By the way, to answer your question, I don't believe that my ancestors are Frisian, especially because I'd never heard of that culture before I read the responses to my post. My name is funny, though, because I am a blond-haired, green-eyed American teenager, who looks like she ought to be a "Brittany" or a "Danielle", instead of such an ethnic name.
