According to Village Restaurant in New York’s Greenwich Village, the last name of Rolf and Dirk is “Nierpoort†. I have seen other listings with a single o.

Have you noticed other variations? Or odd spellings of other houses? Share here.

Their full last name is actually "Van der Niepoort"

Which is a beautiful Dutch name.

On the website of Garrafeira Nacional they are very consequent in spelling Fonseca Guimaraens as Fonseca Guimarães (a lovely city in the north of Portugal).

What about Colhieta?

Subsequently; my girlfriends name is Nieuwpoort.
One day I must check if there's a family connection somewhere and then work my way into the family business.
I'll keep you informed.

Someone here used to use Neipoort until he remembered the "i before e except after c" rule - I'm not telling you who it was, but it definately wasn't KillerB

It defiantly wasn't me. It may have been somebody that can't remember the "finite" rule for definitely though.
