My thanks to a channels.nl forum member for pointing out these…
Whether any of these were truly double-barrelled surnames, or simply presented in the newspaper in the Person A Surname - Person B Surname, I don’t know, but they’re funny enough.
Quite a lot of pictures here, so click the link below to see them.

Wang-Holder… That was a bit too queer for me… Reminded of an old Russian anecdote about Capt. Rantsev and his fiancee, daughter of Colonel Sass. The resulting surname — Sass-Rantsev — was somewhat striking, to a Russian speaker at least. Ask Irina about the meaning, I won’t dare to explain it here.
