<HTML>Dutch names like Naaktgeboren, Vroegindewey, Spaargaren and other funny sounding names were family names given to either foundlings or jews. To foundlings because the name must refer to the circumstances of the find and to jews because the were not allowed to have genteel names.
There is much more to funny names of course, but I will not bore you with that.
