[Dixielandjazz] Names & Occupations

[Bert Brandsma]

Here in Holland there was recently an item about names given without thinking to hard.
First place was given to the parents who gave their daughter the name : FokjeFokje is a common name in the north of Holland, but their last name is Modder.

So everytime when she is asked to give her name she has to say : Fokje Modder.

Really not a problem in our language, but if you travel international........

Kind regards,
Bert Brandsma
