In Dutch a surname that you see every once in a while is "Naaktgeboren" (born nude).
A cardealer my grandfather always bought his cars from was called B. de Haas, a "beunhaas", or Beun de haas as seen in old tv commercials, is someone who is a bungler (or even a swindler) or someone who does work he isn't trained to do and charges less than craftsmen/specialists. Knowing my grandfather he went to that cardealer just because of the name.
