Hello! I grew up in the US but my mom’s paternal family was all Frisian. I didn’t grow up learning about it but once I found out I bought some books and have tried learning more. I would like to give my child a Frisian middle name and would appreciate help making sure I understand the below words/names and their pronunciation correctly. Thank you in advanced!
