Got to admit that I laughed over that. One daughter has my maiden name as her middle name. It was a made up name after entry at Ellis Island. My daughter cringes every time someone is about to mis pronounce it.

In our neighborhood, Berkowitz Gevirtz, (Berke?), Geller Heller, Goldstein Lefkowitz (Goldie?...Oh, that was done, in the early 20th century)...guess it doesn't work too well in SoCal.

But I love the idea.
