I watched the link and....I don't believe it. What happened to all the Jans? Or the Roberts (I must know 15 Roberts!)?


The most popular name is sure to be biblical since Belgium is overwhelmingly Catholic. And it wasn't all that long ago that Belgians had to choose their children's names from a government-approved list (of saints' names, so there were no Moon Units or Dweezils. or even Elvis...here).


I'm putting my money on Peter or Jan (John), or how about Peter Jan (I know a few of those!).


Now, if it was a girl's name, that'd be easier. Every other woman I know is called Lieve or Annemie/Anne-Marie; the younger ones are often Elizabeth or a variation thereof.
Reply:BENOIT, BERTRAND or TRISTAN
Reply:Some people (?) try to let us believe it is Mohammed but in fact it started also with M.


It's Matthieu or the other versions of it.


I should know, I am Belgian.


Don't believe all you see on U tube!
