great :)Thanks for updating. You must be very busy if you're more than a year behind on your email!I had just noticed that the pronunciations had been added to the Dutch names. I really happy with this, because now they have a link to the pronunciation guide next to them. I'm also really happy that Thorsten is has been added, it's one of my favs :)Let me know if there are any new Dutch entries where you need the pronunciation of (also for future entries). I'll be glad to help.

When adding pronunciations I extensively used the comments you left (as well as those by JHK, Aki, Ylva, Ivayla, Agata, Mrs Claire, ...), and Satu's website. The comments I use have a little [noted -ed] added to them.The email situation is not as grim as it seems: as of February 2006 new names get submitted directly into the database (http://www.behindthename.com/submit/) instead of being emailed to me. So I just have to make it through few more months of mail and then my inbox will be mostly clear!
