I'm from Holland and we do have some funny names when you look at them as from an english perspective.
Kok is a very common name in Holland and it means cook.

The Dutch are famous for having ridiculous family names, also from a Dutch perspective:

Zoetemelk (Sweet milk)
Komkommer (Cucumber)
Kok (Kok Wim, was a former prime minister of The Netherlands (‘Kok’ means Chef))
Naaktgeboren (Born Naked)
Poepjes (Little Feces)

Now, some say it has to do with Napoleon. When he was the ruler of Holland and Belgium, he demanded that people registered their name. The Dutch protested this procedure and gave a silly name.

It's a nice story but it’s an urban legend which is hard to kill.

In Belgium, ‘P-magazine’ is a popular weekly magazine.

It’s just a silly paper, targeting young males.

They show each week some nice ladies, but never naked ones.

It’s in no means a dirty magazine.

But when I was in Dover and was holding the magazine in my hands, people were looking dirty at me.

They really-really did and I noticed it.

I was wondering why, asked my girlfriend if I was looking strange, weird clothes or something…

And then I was realizing that I was holding a Pee-Magazine.

Btw not one guy wants to be named Kaka in Belgium. Kaka is a synonym for ****.

Reminds me of the time in FM07 where I came across a Nigerian player called Ice Cream. I couldn't NOT buy the guy!
