Jan Paul Schutten: Hello. My name is Jan Paul Schutten. It's a Dutch name. I'm from the Netherlands, especially the last name is difficult to say. Schutten. There's a story to tell. Before the second world war, there were a lot of foreign spies who pretended to be Dutch. If you aren't Dutch, you don't say Sch like in SCHUTTEN, so if the Dutch didn't trust someone, they let them say Scheveningen, the name of Dutch place. If the person pronounce it right, like me, it was definitely Dutch. If you pronounce like Shteveningen, you must have been a spy. If you want to say my name, just leave the Sch out. Say Jan Paul Sutten. Sounds just about right.
