Maaike is derived from the Frisian (north of the Netherlands) name: Maria, the English Mary. Although it is not a common name, it is typical in that it ends with the "ke" sound as do a large number of names, both male and female (Anne is not an uncommon name for boys here, with the pronuniation of the second syllable). For those struggling to remember the pronunciation of the name, a reference to Mike can be helpful ("the female version of Mike"!) I have noticed that with English-speaking people, it is typical to change the pronunciation to MIKA, instead of the correct ending as in the final sound of the word "comma".
