There’s the story that not all people took it seriously, thinking Napoleon reign over the Netherlands would pass and thus this measure would only be a temporary one, bit it does not apply to the surname Poepjes. (Frankly the Nopoleon story is considered a myth, there is no verified story for any ‘special’ name linking its origin to the Napoleonic measure. Many of the interesting names were already in use before this era.)
The Meertens Institute provides two possible explanations for the origin of the name. The first explanation is that the surname is a patronymic based on the first name Poppe, with the flattering form Poepje.

Had a Mexican friend who said the same thing happened in Mexico. Those with indigenous blood didn’t have surnames, but some law came around and they had to get them.
Said his grandfather went to a government facility to purchase the name. There were different prices for the names (assuming rich people pressured the government to do this). So grandfather purchased “Garcia” which was cheap vs “Rivera” which was way out of his price range.
