Please do not name your kid Thijs. My worst fear is that someone will take my child's name.
We found it watching the Olympics. Thijs van Valkengoed was a swimmer. I searched around way back then and found it pronounced "tace" and "tice." It means God's gift or God's gift to women.
[That is awesome. It's like a name you have to earn -ed.]
Dear Rachel,
By searching google for my name, I came across this website. I am honoured
that you named your child Thijs, after you saw my name during the Athens
Olympics.
Best wishes, specially to your child,
Thijs van Valkengoed
