JuTa, are you sure this is a given name? in the case of Ruud Sesink Clee, it surely is not. The family name is 'Sesink Clee' a family name in the Dutch language, formed some time ago by adding one of the parts to the already existing family name. For some information (in Dutch), see de familienamenbank. I started this item and connected Ruud Sesink Clee and other 'Sesink Clee's' to that name.

Well I looked into en:Ruud Sesink Clee and found DEFAULTSORT:Clee, Ruud Sesink. So I assumed its a given name. --JuTa (talk) 00:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Dutch Wikipedia clearly states Rudolf Albert (Ruud) Sesink Clee and the defaultsort there is Sesink Clee, Ruud.
Assumptions are never a good way to populate a reliable database. It is better not to make a decision than to present the wrong data. As mentioned on your talk page, It seems the behaviour of double-names in various languages is much more different than I expected. Names are complicated, but untangling errors is even more complicated. Thanks, RonnieV (talk) 10:50, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
