Well, I don't know any personally right now. I just wanted to say in previous generations this was a thing because of wanting to name children after other people in The Netherlands. The official names would be given to name after their Godmother/father or grandparents, but the name a child went by would be what the parents liked. So that way you could end up with things like: Petrus Marinus "Gerard" or Maria Johanna "Vera". I've seen weird combinations like that a few times in The NL, but only on Catholic people.
