    Anouk = Annie or Anna in french
    im not french though.
    just thought i'd clear that up
    apparently with my middle name, Louise, my first two names mean 'gracious warrior maiden'. How odd

    Regarding the Dutch pronunciation of Sjoerd.. would you say, "Syoa-rd" (similar to sword)?

    yes, coz its essentially the same name, just different spellings are used. thats the problem with spelling names orginating from other languages.
    so far i've seen:

    Mohammed
    Mohamed
    Mohammad
    Mohamad
    Muhammad
    Muhamad
    Muhammed
    Muhamed.....

    well in that case I question the result then

    Never mind the many variants of the same European names - as henk4 said Pieter==Peter - but also the CHINESE !!!

    it appears that i am the only Brendon here... but I usually am the only Brendon

    its a fairly rare derivation of Brendan, but strangely not related to Brandon. apparently my name is Gaelic meaning little raven.
