  1. In idle moments I sometimes make up names just for fun. For instance there's Andy Tollroad, an anagram of my actual name and also a good stage name for a country- music singer imo. My favorite invented name so far is Anton Wrzstzschk. It's less crazy than it might seem: I've known people with the surname Wrzsinski and I've met at least one person named Matzschk, so I just mashed the two together. (I'm in Texas, where there are a lot of towns that were founded by Czech or Polish settlers.)

  2. @Mr. Skipper Yes but the only ones I've been aware of spelled it with a w.

  3. @caligulathegod That's pretty much how I'd pronounce it but folks named Matzschk say Matish, at least around here.

  4. @TissuePaper That's my thought too, just two syllables, but my way is "check" for the second syllable.

  5. @caligulathegod Looking up Eastern European names and pronunciations is a good idea, just bear in mind that in the Texas dialects of those languages it's hard to predict how things will be pronounced. Tex-Deutsch is another one and it's as different from its original as Tex-Mex, our version of Spanglish.
