Help[Opinions] Re: top 20 Dutch names 2013
in reply to a message by Mar
Wow, Tess and Finn made a pretty big leap! (I think you may have meant to say something else when you said that Finn was in the top 20 but isn't anymore.)
I've never seen Saar before. Is it a nickname for Sarah / Sara?
My favorites:
Emma
Julia ;)
Anna
Mila
Eva
Elin --How is this pronounced in Dutch?
Lucas
Milan
Noah
Thomas
Ick to Jayden among all those lovely names. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Yes, well spotted. That was Liam :)
Elin would be AY-lin in Dutch.
Yes, Saar is a shortened variant of Sara. It's pronounced SAH:RH (and Sara is SAH:-rhah, so it's phonetically the first syllable of Sara).
Compare:
Floor - Flora
Noor - Nora
Veer - Vera
Roos - Rosa
Daan - Daniël (Daniel)
I agree about Jayden and I've got the same feeling about Lynn on the girls side. It just feel out of place.
