I got an off-line reaction from a Triple-L member who's called Arvid too.
Although from American, he's got a Dutch last name... What a coincidence!

In Dutch we say <arend> for eagle, but <adelaar> from German <Adler> (?)
is used just as much.

By the way, the city I live nearby, Arnhem, means Home of the Eagle(s).
< aren(d)+heem. It has its own German name too, <Arnheim>. Its local name
is <Ernem>, in Low Saxon <Arem>. Arnhem is (in)famous because of its
Bridge too far, September 1944, when the allied forces tried but failed to
liberate the city across the Rhine. After that, the Northern half of the
Netherlands stayed in German hands. All inhabitants of Arnhem were forced
to leave the city for about eight months, there wasn't left much when the
returned.

I cross this bridge weekly, by bike or car, and often think about its
history then. It is called John Frost-brug now...
