Fascinating - this type of name:
Navrátil - he returned
Musil - he had to(?)
Dostál - he kept his word
Doležal - he had a rest
Stojespal - slept standing
Pospišil he hurried
Vyskočil - jumped out
Nevčerel - got no supperI should add that I don't know Czech, so the translations are as I read them."... the common verbal names ... might well be fossilised remains of what had once been funny incidents in the lives of certain individuals.
