Re: ... and you thought 'Ben Dover' was a funny name ?
@Johnny:
it might not explain all the names that end with -berg... at least a portion:
well, some names on the german side that end with -stein or -berg
like einstein..
they come from a naming of a group of jews done by some german bureaucrats... and they thought it would be funny to just name many of them something with stein which means rock or something with berg which means mountain...
EDIT: i found a source that may be a bit clearer about this than my vague history lesson memories...
