Vincent Asterix Saltzman VerheijBorn: July 2, 2000 Where does the odd middle name come from you might ask? Tara's explanation: The Astarex (which is how I spell it and how it appears on the birth certificate) comes from a shuffling of the letters from our four deceased grandfather's names which are Alex, Arthur, Gerard, and Adrianus. With no hyphen in between, a second middle name is Saltzman, the mother's (still current) surname. Arjan's take on it: Asterix is the hero in the comic book series 'Asterix & Obylix' about the Roman times where a small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders.
