- Glawen 7y agoI find it funny when you know it is Napoleon who forced every dutch to chose a surname in order to build up a registry (to tax them of course) . It is the source of the many funny names that the dutch have, as they thought they will have a laugh at the french :)
- isoprophlex 7y agoPeople that wonder what could be deliberately funny about a surname: here's a few real life examples! - Naaktgeboren, "born-naked" - Van 't Zelfde, "same to you" - De Naamloze, "nameless" - Bij 't Werk, "on the job"
- mkl 7y agoCan you share some examples?
