My dad who is Dutch named me Hendrika after his mom. When I moved to Belgium I learned that one of the Leopold's queens was also named Hendrika. I like the shortened version of my name, makes it more interesting. People tend to love the long version of the name though. I have never met another Hendrika in real life and so has no one I ever meet. It's pretty unique now. My mom's best friend named her daughter Hendrika though so who knows in a few years...

This is my baby daughter's name, and me and my boyfriend adore it! We call her Hendrix or Henny for short. Such a cute name. After my Dutch grandmother.
