What's in a name?

The other day when Dad was watching "This Old House" I heard a name that made me stop and wonder- "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, PARENTS?" The architect's name is Treff LaFleche (pronounced "la flesh".) With a last name like that you would think the parents would have named the poor kid something a lot more normal than "Treffle." I'll bet there were times when he must have wondered what his parents were thinking, too. Grades K-12 must have been tough. I honestly thought the guy must be a retired porn star or something like that.

Now I'm really curious to know- what's his middle name?

Maybe they should start telling people that it is ok to pick something normal and/or boring. Different isn't necessarily good. :-)

No kidding. That is a horrible, horrible name. He probably wanted to be named like, Bob or something his whole life. Bob Smith. That's nice.
