I lived in the area for three years, and your description is hilariously accurate. The only thing I'd add is that nicknames ("duck boots" comes to mind) were quite prevalent, especially within the greater "Friesen" clan since it's far and away the most common surname.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Klassen, since I knew more of them than most of the names on your list.
