This is also reflected in [[Het grote voorleesboek: De eieren\|De wonderlijke avonturen van Alfred J. Kwak: het grote voorleesboek]].

For his character page the name Jan "Woerd" van de Polder was chosen as it is the most consistent, with the exception of his name in the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)\|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] where he is called Hans "Woerd" van de Polder. Anna's brother's name was chosen to be '''Jan van de Polder Junior''' and Alfred's brother's name is '''Jan Kwak'''.
