My vote still goes to Ben Snel. Can't be found in the list of pipsqueaks because the first few seasons have been lost, but is present in the list of team members.
Ben is a common first name in Dutch like it is in English, and Snel is a pretty common last name. Ben is also the first person singular of to be, so "am", and snel means fast. So it says "(I) am fast" while also just being a normal name.
And there was a "Sneler Dan Ben". Dutch has the same structure of English.
...and German as well: "Schneller als Ben"
Curious that "Snel" sounds similar to "snail", which isn't a fast animal at all :P

Very similar to the German "schnell" which means "fast". By the way, people often thought that "Ben Snel" and "Sneller dan Ben" might be the same person but actually that is not true, they've been two different guys. :)
