14 hilarious shame names that really exist in the Netherlands
What I used to find terrible: ‘Kiki Düren’. I don't even know exactly why, but Kiki just didn't sound cool. Childish. Something you would say to a child. Peekaboo! Because of that ‘Düren’ at the end, I regularly got asked on the playground if I ‘was really that expensive’, followed by: ‘Kiki Durex!! HAHAHA!!’ Kids are the meanest dragons on earth.
In the meantime, I'm actually quite content with Kiki. It's short, easy, and it almost never happens that someone forgets my name. It suits me. Especially when you consider what kind of shame names (we prefer to call them fame names nowadays) are floating around in the Netherlands... You ready?
1. Wil Krikke
And I keep complaining about Kiki Durex.
2. Connie Comen
By the way, there are several ‘silly’ Connies living in the Netherlands. For example, you also have Connie Veren and Connie Plassen.
3. Constant Hijzen
Those annoying skinny jeans too...
4. Beau ter Ham
Nah, just give me old cheese.
5. Chil Persoon
Okay, I'll take this name then. Sounds great.
6. Jos Tibant
Anyone want to make a request?
7. Fokje Modder
And then genuinely wonder how the parents came up with this, huh. There’s also a ‘Fokje Dokter’ living in the Netherlands. How?!
8. Dick Sack
I would never dare to step on a plane again. Quite unfortunate.
9. Bennie Dood
GUYS, PLEASE STOP THROWING THAT EARTH, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!
10. Bennie Tiggeloven
Maybe a relative of Bennie Thuis?
11. Gooi van de Berg
Please tell me that Mrs. (or Mr.?) Gooi has an Instagram account with all kinds of cool travel photos on mountains. Sounds delightful.
12. Kitty Miao
Purrrrfect name for the crazy cat ladies among us.
13. Till Bal
Okay, I'm almost done. Yeah sorry, but just a silly attack here.
14. Constant Kaanen
Could be a relative of mine. By the way, there's also a ‘Constant Lam’ in the Netherlands. Could also be family.
P.S.: Kiki means ‘little penis’ in French and ‘quickie’ in Spanish. Your turn.
