When I got my first Keeshond as a puppy I wanted to give him a name that reflected his "Dutch" heritage. Unfortunately, I only had one, rather old, baby name book that didn't have many Dutch names in it. I thought others may be interested in Dutch names for their Kees so I did a little research and came up with the following list of Dutch, Scandanavian, and Norse names for your Kees.
This list will be updated with the meanings of the names and any new names I find with these origins, so check back often.
