Subject: RE: BS: the funny business of names
There was a girl in my first elementary school called Isa Flakes. Poor thing. And my wife had a coworker named Helen Jelen (she married into it--apparently her maiden name was some multisyllabic, unpronounceable German thing).

"Schneider" in German translates the English word "butcher."
