Dutch names consist of one or more given names and a surname. The given name, as in English, is usually gender-specific.
Dutch given names
A Dutch child's birth and given name(s) must be officially registered by the parents within 3 days after birth. It is not uncommon to give a child several given names. Usually the first one is for daily use, often in a diminutive form. Traditionally, Catholics often chose Latinized names for their children, such as Catharina and Wilhelmus, while Protestants more commonly chose simple Dutch forms such as Trijntje and Willem. In both cases, names were often shortened for everyday use (Wilhelmus and Willem became Wim). Nearly half of Dutch children today receive one name, over 30% are given two names, 17% have three names, 2.5% get four names and only very few children have five or more given names.
Dutch (Netherlands) naming law (given names)
The Dutch naming legislation practically allows all given names unless they are too similar to an existing surname, or if the name is inappropriate. There is no legal limit on the number of given names for one child.
No one's perfect No one's certain what life's all about It's a door we can't figure out all alone So we trust in who we can Never understand why Never good or bad Just in-between, Like any other man [Chorus:] So I teach him, Teach him not to lie, Make him laugh until he cries, Hold him, stand by his side Hoping he'll change his way of life. Having seen the light for many nights, Still I keep the vision of candle lights Wanna be alone, wanna be with you I'm so confused So the next time we meet, We'll do it again Whatever your heart's fixing, Never good or bad Just in-between, Like any other man [Chorus:] So I teach him, Teach him not to lie, Make him laugh until he cries, Hold him, stand by his side Hoping he'll change his way of life. No one's perfect No one's certain what life's all about Sometimes it's the man to be figured out Never good or bad So I understand [Chorus:] So I teach him, Teach him not to lie, Make him laugh until he cries, Hold him, stand by his side
