About Dutch names
Dutch first names draw on Germanic, Latin and biblical roots, and many are used in a short form every day: Bram, for Abraham, is one example. Traditionally Dutch families often named a first son after his paternal grandfather and a first daughter after her paternal grandmother, so a name can carry a family line as well as a meaning.
The Dutch g and ij sounds are different from English ones, so hear a Dutch speaker say a name before you decide.
