In Sweden they're called "von Anka" and "Anka". ("Anka" is the Swedish word 
for "duck".) In Lo$ there was no change of the names. In some other story 
published one and a half decade ago, there was also a similar problem. The 
solution was then that "Joakim von Anka was of the clan McAnka". The 
solution might not be very good, but in this case any solution had to be 
used.
