Then I'd better not look for the Barks Bear book in a shop, but just
wait instead? 8-)

Yes, there are. Well, there *were*, in the 50s ("Mickey Mouse Magazine"). 
They were translated French comics (while the Dutch were translated from the
German).
In 1959, the Belgian publisher stopped, and all the subscribers got
the Dutch Donald Duck from then on. In the last Belgian edition, an editor's
note stated that "all your favourite Disney friends now got new names from
Uncle Walt": Jeremias got the new name Dagobert, etc.

I think I provided the Flemish names, in the 2nd or 3rd mail after Andreas
Gammel started this whole thread. The only Flemish name originally in your
list was 'Assepoester', which is the same in Dutch. I still wonder where
you got that name from.

> Maybe it shouldn't be there at all?

Well, should the name list only contain *recent* character's names?
I don't know.
