Day 2: the names of houses

The Three Halfwit Men
It's my first full day in the Netherlands, and I'm rediscovering part of Middelburg's charm: its houses generally have names painted gracefully over their doorways. Some of these names are very peculiar. Would you really want to live in a home affectionately known as "The Three Halfwit Men"? Or am I mistaken in my translation?

The three half-white moons.

Whether the moons are half, or the white is half, dont know.

So it's three half-wit men viewed from the back side :-)
