At the risk of revealing my English/US language single-mindedness, how does one pronouce "Auke Kok"?

I'm not the definitive source, but I believe it's rendered approximately as "OW-kuh CAULK" (i.e., last name is more like the English word "caulk" than "cock," and the "uh" part is not very pronounced (so to speak)--sort of an afterthought, almost).

But I'm not actually Dutch; I just work with 'em. ;-)
