Marnix

This cool Dutch name was popularised by Flemish and Dutch writer and statesman Philips of Marnix, who is credited for writing the Dutch national anthem. The -x ending gives an otherwise gentle-sounding name a cool edge and modern feel. Marnix would fit right in with other -x names that have been gaining traction in recent years, like Lennox and Maddox.

Pronounced MAR-niks.
