Vajen looks like the word that refers to the female genitalia. Is it a made-up name?

Read all about it. In Dutch:

Dutch speakers help! If I understood correctly her mother made the name up and it's pronounced with an F.

In Dutch a V sounds like F and a W sounds like V. Same as in German. So it'd be fie-EN or fa-EN.Mum made it up and liked the sound of it. Her own name is Monique and she always had other Moniques in the same class, so she liked the uniqueness. Gerdi and Joanne are the young singer's mns, both after her grandmothers - so she's Vajen Gerdi Joanne.Oh, and because it's a made-up name, there doesn't seem to be any agreement on the spelling - some just copy the singer's version, others use what they think they've heard.

I like the mother of Lenni's name, Katrien looks very cute and fitting for a little girl, but like it would fit a professional and older woman well too.What were they thinking naming a little girl Lemoni? Maybe it's more common in Belgium or the Netherlands but seems odd to me. xDElaine is very pretty and something I haven't seen quite as often lately. I don't think it fits well with Anita to me.London is just ... trendy. And Dean displeases me for personal reasons. Simone is beautiful! Vajen is another I don't get, but would love to know how it is pronounced!

Apparently, Lemoni is a character in the book and movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin.Anita is her last name.
