Dutch middle names

[Luc]

It's the fault of some journalists who are inventing to write on several manner. Look for instance here in Belgium 10 years long they write Danny Verlinden and the last years of his career he became Dany, written on a female or more modern way. There are a lot of such things and mistakes in the press.

The case of Lubse we should assume Harry wich is in all my sources even in old magazines of Voetbal International.

What a discussion of a nickname, if you take Harrie ore Harry ore Haartje, who cares....

Dany Verlinden is a real name, we talk here about a nickname....a nickname is NOT REAL ))

It's not his nickname, it's his common name, the first name he is known by. It's not in his passport, that's true

[BSH]

It's not in pasport so is Harrie and Harry never correct ore always correct, because is not his real name, if you write Harrie and others Harry is not any problem.So we written here Harrie, it's for a dutchplayer the most logical name. )))
More books from this time write ie and books from a time ago write y, this is thesame way as Feyenoord and Feijenoord. -)))

You don't understand it or you can't make us clear in English what you exactly mean.
I'll try to explain:

In Holland, you have your passport name and sometimes a name by who someone is generally known (common name, in het Nederlands 'roepnaam'). When you go to the Registry of Births, deaths and Marriages (in het Nederlands > 'Burgerlijke Stand') you have to give the official name and his common name and both are registrated.
In this case:

Official name: Henricus Carolus Gerardus Lubse
Common name: Harry Lubse

The fact that 'Harrie' is the most logical name for a Dutch player, is nonsense. Harry or Harrie, in Holland both names are used almost equally.
Hope everything is clear now for.

That was an amazing answer "abe" thank you for bring some ligth

[BSH]

Always welcome, thanx Abe

So, you have to give the official name and his common name and both are registrated ??
A dutchmen's name is Erik Vaerenberg, and for the Friends 'Appie' so on the pasport stay Appie and Erik? Crazy people.....hahaha
If we look in telephonebook:
Berg, van der
In Belgium
Van der Berg ))

Ow, ex-international van den Bosch Hypoliet, i can explain this, in Belgium is the little v a ''baron'' but his father is dutch, and that's the reason of the little v for him, he say it to me couple weeks ago

[abe_lenstra]

Some nickname given to you by your friends won't be registrated of course
It's the common name given to you by your parents when you are born which is registrated.

...and what to think of Spanish (nick) names. In Iceland woman called dottir and in Turkey the soccerplayer's firstname is reffered as the common name in soccerteamline ups and not the surname.....
