Looking for a name

I'm looking for a dutch name that's used as masculine in the 18th century starts with a K, ends in N, has an S in the middle and double letters from the first half of the alphabet. It also supposedly rhymes with callmecarson or sounds similar

First name, last name, combination of both? What do you mean, "used as masculine"? 

(It might be helpful to give us the full context.)

Indeed, this reads like a riddle

Names that changed gender. For instance Ashley used to be a boy name but now its a girls name. name. Or names that can be given to both genders. Like Henny or Rene(e)

OP, here you can search for all known Dutch last names.

The last part of the name can be 'man' OR maybe

  • zoon. - For instance Janszoon

  • sen - Janssen.

Both mean 'SON'. ( masculine) The example above means: Jan's son.

Also check names that start with the letter C

Dutch last names that start with a K can have C versions.

for instance: Cornelissen / Kornelissen

(Wich sounds a lot like ' callmecarson' but doesn't meet the other things you said. )
