Can anyone decipher this (Dutch?) woman's maiden name?

I need some help to try to read some of this section of a Scottish birth register that lists the parents' names. I can read this:
William Postma
Seaman
Carolina Postma
M S (problem name)
1856 December 9th
Greenock
William Postma was Dutch, so I'm thinking his Carolina was also Dutch. But I cannot come up with a credible interpretation of that maiden name. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Horrible handwriting!
My best guess is K**kielsbergen
Had another thought!
Looking at the "W" of William, is it possible her name was Von Vielsbergen?

I agree with Youngtug...I see an "R" at the end.

It's Kukelsberger on the IGI - might be worth checking the marriage for them, it might be a bit clearer (assuming it can be found!)

I see it as KuKelsberger, i.e., the third letter as a capital.
Wondering whether this means Ku is a prefix, like other nations
use Mac or de or von?
