No the others just are called by the name they were baptised with. It is ot uncommon in The Netherlands to use a daily name which is different from the official name. A friend of mine is called Clasina Adriana Wilhelmina, but she her 'roepnaam' is Diana.

The way you typed is is the way you would pronounce it, the 'ij' should be pronounced like 'I'.
