474.0. "Dutch names" by HOO78C::DUINHOVEN () Wed Jan 03 1990 06:58

    Dutch names:
    
    Hello, I am Hans Duinhoven working for Digital Holland (Netherlands).
    We are expecting our third baby now, duedate January 28th.
    We have named our two boys Danny & Dave, so you see we are fond
    of English names.
    
    Maybe you'd like to know Dutch names.
    
    Hans Duinhoven (Hans is derived from John)
    My wife's name is typical Dutch: Tineke which is derived from
    Catherine.
    
    Regards,
    
    Hans

474.1	Well?...	CHCLAT::HAGEN	Please send truffles!	`Wed Jan 03 1990 07:13`	8
	Hans, Have you picked out a name or names for your soon-to-be-born baby? How is Tineke pronounced? - Lori
474.2	Names to be & NO truffles	HOO78C::DUINHOVEN		`Tue Jan 09 1990 12:34`	22
	Hi Lori, Yes at the end: Boy will be Kevin or if it will be a girl: Daisy. I won't send truffles: it's a Dutch habit to treat friends & family on biscuits with "Mice" on it. These mice are typical Dutch small sweets you put onto the bicuits. There small irregular shaped balls with anice taste. There coloured in white and pink for girls and white and blue for boys. Tineke is pronounced Teeneke the -neke sounds like "eh" when you don't know what to say.... Maybe the biscuits issue is another topic for this notesfile... By the way: all's fine, we had a scan last friday. Cheers, Hans
474.3	Daisy it will be!	HOO78C::DUINHOVEN	Hans VES on Wooden Shoes with Tulips	`Tue Jan 30 1990 05:51`	13
	WHOOPIE: It's a girl! So it's Daisy! She weighed at her birth 5.5 Lbs. She was born in the VERY stormy night of the 25-26th of January. I phoned the police first, to be sure the road was not blocked with trees or stranded vehicles! All is well! She'll be baptised with the names: Margareth Catherine. Daisy is derived from Margareth Catherine is from my wifes name Tineke.
474.4	CONGRATULATIONS!!!	UTROP1::BORRIAS_I		`Tue Jan 30 1990 06:25`	10
	Hi Hans! We are both Dutch, but lets do this in English, otherwise the majority of the readers can't understand it!! Congratulations with Daisy!! I really like the way you've named your 3 children, all starting with a "D" !! It makes them a sort of a "team"... Very nice!! Anyway, good luck with the her!!! Greetings, Ilse Borrias.
474.5	Bye Babynames; Hello Parenting	HOO78C::DUINHOVEN	Dutch treat	`Tue Apr 03 1990 07:28`	11
	Hi, I quit with this note, because I found, what I was looking for. Secondly Daisy has got Dew-worm, a skin disease. Therefore I'll switch to the parenting note. If there are some questions about Dutch names, please address them to me: Hans Duinhoven@UTO (I'm at All in One now) Regards, Hans
