Well, wouldn't it make more sense if they were called "Holls"? Not funny, but I'm just saying.
But then, people from Poland could possibly be called Polanders, couldn't they?
Incidentally, there really isn't a connection between Holland and Dutch, is there? I think that other person is right. Given the pattern, maybe they SHOULD be called "Putch".

A person from Wales is called Taffy, from New Zealand is a Kiwi. from Scotland a Jock, from Ireland a Paddy, from Germany a Kraut, a man from the isle of man a Manx, a woman from the Isle of man a Minx?,and from Spain a Manuel Labourer!
From the U.S.A. a Yankee, from France a Frog, from Sweden a Turnip (or should that be Swede?), and from Bulgaria a Vulgar Bulgar.

There are 2 "Ls" in Holland, so there is no parallel arguement to call them HOLES!
