Menno - not my thing, bc of association probably. I know a few
Frank - not my thing. popular, but more for older people, not babies
Gijs - nice enough. Moderately popular for all ages
Ad - the English language made the use of this dwindle I think, once popular I know several but none under 45.
Jeroen - I like it. I'd expect a bearer to be 20 to 50.
Jacobus - love it. Only found in religious areas these days, but once very popular.
