Is that scandinavian? Cause here there are a lot of people named Jan.

Usually pronounced Yan
 
Andres and Margarita
 
Actually, It's David and Marlene.

I've met about two other Marlenes, ever. Not a common Jewish/American name.
 
My 8th grade Math teacher was a Marlene.


Beat this: My Dad's given first name is R . So he's R. Michael. He goes by mike, but his first name is really R.

My mom: Norma
 
Ai And Hong.

No, it is American and not some foreign family name since his side of the family has been in the states since before the Civil War. It is not meant to be pronouced Yawn.

Typically it is a female name that is short for Janet or Janice or anything else like that, but his is just Jan. I never had more fun making fun of him than when he dated a Janice who demanded to be called Jan.

Of course his middle name is Garth, so I guess his parents were just mean.
 
George (called 'Tony', for his middle name) and Nancy.
 
Zeger (dad) and Els (mother)
both belgian
 
Al and Cindy. Rosenkranz and Kiger, respectively. Both of German descent, but that was a long time ago. Don't know when.
 
hmmm... I went to college with a Rosenkranz girl.
 
Valerie And Indian Jeff (google him).
 
I'm pretty sure it wasn't anyone from my family. I have a few fancy relatives who've travelled all over Europe and South America adn such, but their kids (my cousins, and they're about 25) all went to college here in the States. There's actually more Rosenkranzes out there then I though there was. People always spell my name with a -tz, since my dad pronounces it the proper German way, where a "z" makes a "tz" or "ts" sound, and therefore everyone thinks my dad is the mayor of a nearby city, who's name is Rosenkrantz. That's a little weird, but my dad definitely isn't government material. Even just give him a choice of restaurants and he says "I don't care.":lol:
 
yeah, I went to college in the US.

But she was an exchange student, from Germany... so enough off-topicness.
 
Phillip and Irene.
 
Sharon and Enzo.
 
if it was enzo ferrari, I think I'd be a lot older.
 
I like Enzo. My wife keeps doing that thing girls do where they try and come up with kids' names years before you have them and since she won't let me use my Great Uncle Nut's name (family name, not a nickname) maybe she will let me use Enzo. She likes the slightly different names like that and being in America it will definitely be different. She also won't realize where I got it from until it is too late. :trouble:
 
Luiz (dad) and Ieda (mom).
 
Roger (dad) and Kerry (muma)

"poppa was a coppa and my mumma was a hippy...."
