Why do Dutch people have funny names?

As a native English speaker living in the Netherlands, I’ve come across some unusual (for me) names. Some Dutch surnames are indeed rather amusing, or even insulting! So much so that a legend has formed around their origin; that these names were adopted in 1810 when Napoleon Bonaparte annexed Holland and forced the population to register an official name. But is there any truth to the legend?
