I know there are some funny Dutch surnames like that. Are people putting themselves down as Jedi as well?

What about Głowaboli?

Quirky, humourous surnames are common in Dutch, where people have names with meanings like "born naked" or "little sh!t". This was due to people there not having surnames until the idea was imposed on them under Napoleon. People there didn't think surnames would stick and allegedly that's why it happened in the Netherlands. Could there be a similar reason for these odd Polish surnames?

No Głowaboli in Poland, but there are nearly 200 people called Moczygęba (topers, tipplers, whistle-wetters).
