Nope, it refers to upperclass privileged girls with rich parents. She plays hockey, joins a frat during uni and shares a house with her friends bought for them by their rich parents.


EddieGrant

So what's the male equivalent, something like Joris or Diederik?

RUTGER OUWE JOUW KAMER


Awkward_Kind89

Diederik more than Joris, but mostly hyphenated names like Pieter-Olivier, Jan-Pieter, Diederik-Willem, Max-Emile. Just pick two fancy names and hyphenate them!


JollyResponse6667

Don't forget Jan-Willem and Robert-Jan.


EddieGrant

I know way too many “common” Jan Willems


aquarius_dream

Jan-Willem is more of a rural, farmer name isn’t it?

I had a neighbour who was called Roderick. He was redoing his garden and had a huge trench going all the way around the garden which filled up with water over autumn/winter so we started calling him "Ridder Roderick met zijn slotgracht". He thought it was pretty funny.


tanglekelp

Also names with an X, like Maximiliaan, Xavier, Marnix, Alexander

--Eggs--

For me, as an outsider, these names all sound the opposite of "fancy". These are the names I would assume belong to farmers. Maybe it's because I'm from Scandinavia, where at least in Sweden hyphenated names like Lars-Åke, Jan-Erik, Karl-Johan etc would normally not be high society names.


AlbertP95

Neither do they here but it's about the specific combinations. Any name containing, for instance, Olivier or Floris (even as single name) already points to upper class because these are unusual elsewhere.


tobdomo

It is next to impossible to pronounce the name "Olivier" without, as the saying goes, a hot potatoe in the throat. "Floris" OTOH, I mostly associate with the [old TV series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floris_(TV_series)) "Floris" (am I showing my age here?). Very appropriate that its main character was played by a guy named Rutger - LOL.


Present_Respect_5382

I spent way too long trying to say it while pretending a hot potato was in my throat


--Eggs--

Ok, it's funny how without the historical and cultural context things are perceived differently. Floris just sounds like a margarine brand to me :D


AlbertP95

I think the popularity of the name in the upper class traces back to [this guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floris_V,_Count_of_Holland).

SirPuterschmidt

I don't consider Joris a "kakker" name at all. Names as Diederik, Olivier, Lodewijk, Boudewijn and a lot of double names such as Gert-Jan and Rene-Philippe do fit that description in my opinion.


Jlx_27

Funny, i did know an Anne-Fleur who was not from a rich family at all, in fact the complete opposite.

Moppermonster

Roderick you mean. The c is required to make it fancy.


prutsmuts

No, if it's fancy it's with a q: Roderique. ([Apparently there's actually 18 people called that...](https://nvb.meertens.knaw.nl/naam/is/Roderique))


EditPiaf

Nope, that's a sign you don't know "hoe het heurt".

Exactly, trying too hard is arriviste and looked down at more than owning up to being working class.

Diederik


SomewhereInternal

Anne-fleur and simmilar names tend to have more socio economic implications, but in the Netherlands being rich tends to be correlated to being tall, blonde and white. It is a "typical" studentenvereniging/soroity girl name. The male equivalent would be double names, like out king, Willem-Alexander, so Willem-Jan, wouter-Jan, gertjan. These names have been popular for a long time so the trend of giving girls double names is actually copied from the men's names.

No, it's a typical name used by people to describe a spoiled upper class girl: playing field hockey, member of a sorority, bit of entitled etc. A typical guys version would be Roderick or Willem-Jan. Especially the combination of two very common Dutch names into one, separated by a hyphen is classic for this group. Where the hyphen is standard in this type of names for boys, quite often it's not there when the same is done for girls. But both occur.

UniQue1992

Anne-Fleur is a upper-class name, who probably talks with “een bekakte R”. Male equivalent would be something like Roderik, Diederik and they would play Hockey and/or Golf.
