    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    I am glad to hear that me being stubborn calling Pieter for Pieter seems to be okay. Michael will be a very happy chap, since he would hate to call someone Piet ;) At times I was quite annoyed when watching The Way, and probably some pilgrims will be upset with my book as well. However, my...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thanks for your info on O Cebreiro. I have been using John Brierley's guide book for the names but intend to look through all city and village names again. As for the short name of Pieter, I suppose he is called Piet back home in Holland, but when meeting people on the Camino he will call...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thanks Thomas! The background picture is taken during daytime on the way up to O'Cebreiro. Then it has been mixed with another picture and been made into night to suit the title (Under the stars of the Milky Way). I hope you are right and it will become a success. As soon as I am ready with this...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Sorry, I will stick to Pieter, since it suits the character and also the manuscript. Btw here is a picture of the book cover. Thank you all! :) Camilla

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Puh, I am glad to hear it is approved :) I tired it in the manuscript and it fits well. I also tried to upload a file with the book cover but it was too big size (will ask the AD for a low res picture) The book title is 'Under Vintergatans alla stjärnor' - in English it would be something like...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Wow, thanks for all comments. This is getting a lot more complex than I thought :). I think his name will be Pieter. Since all persons around him are using English when they speak his name will be pronounced as the English Peter. Also Pieter seems to have been a rather common name in the...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    No, Albert. This Dutch guy is very pleasant towards everyone. He is a gentleman and knows a lot about Roman architecture. As stated above he was born in the mid/late sixties, so the name I am looking at should be available during that period. Right now I am looking mostly at Victor, Willem and...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Oh, lucky you to walk the Camino so soon. I was supposed to walk in September, but now I am to release a book about the Camino in September instead. Funny thing how the Camino provides ... Well, well, the physical path of the Camino will stay. Ok, so off goes Alexander. Is it the same with...

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Adriaan is a very nice name! Unfortunately another character has a name a bit too close, also the publisher wants me to choose a name without double A. It seems right now it will be Victor, Willem, Sebastian or Alexander.

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Ok, thanks. I will have to think what would suit the character best. Any other suggestions for names that were popular to name Dutch kids in the end of the sixties?

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thank you Sabine! So a man who were born in the late sixties would probably not have been named Sebastian in Holland? If so, would he have a short name? Bastian? Same goes for Alexander? Alex? If someone's name is Willem, what would then his short name in English be? Will?

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    Thanks! I have a few suggestions I got from friends (who are not Dutch) - Sebastian, Willem, Victor, Alexander, Christian, Stefan, Jasper, Pieter. Are any of those names that were used in the sixties?

    Dutch male names on the Camino?

    This is a bit of a strange camino question, but here goes: I have written a book that to a large part take place on the Camino (a bit like The Way but the main character is a woman and a lot younger) and now it is to be published in Sweden to begin with, but who knows what will happen... I wish...
