Question about name formatting on marriage record

Natalie.McKenzie

Hello,

I am reviewing a marriage record from 1925, and the groom's first name is encased in parentheses wherever it appears on the record

Like this: (Augustus) Weyn

What significance is there to this formatting?

Here is the record, left page: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHJ-5Q2D-VD52?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3A6TTW-5DWZ&cc=2138513&lang=en&groupId=

For some context on why I'm asking:

The bride listed in the above record, shows up in a separate record from a month previous, which seems to be some kind of marriage registration, but the groom listed for that one is someone named Karel Lodewÿk Weyn. In the 2 marriage records, Karel Lodewÿk and Augustus have the same parents listed. It seems that the only 2 likely scenarios are they are either brothers (but why would she have marriage records with both, just a month apart) or perhaps they are the same person (but if that's the case, trying to understand why the given names would appear differently in the 2 records - the weird use of parentheses seemed to be something to go off of, but not sure what they mean)

The grooms name in parentheses is to distinguish him from his father named after him, but has the same name.Father and son are named equal.

The grooms name in in parentheses, because the clerck made a mistake. The first name in parentheses in the record is the first name of the father of the groom. Above the first name (in parentheses) in the margin of the record you will notice the letter A. If you scroll down, you will find in the margin of the record the following: "A lees (read) Karel Lodewyk. These are the first names of the groom. Under the name you will see the marking "goedgekeurd" (= approved), followed by the signatures of the witnesses.

I hope this was helpful to you.
