Yes, his last name is pronounced, "Frisky" .......

7. You don't get to choose your last name.

Read something by a Russian with the last name "Lipshitz."

Had a student who insisted that his last name must be pronounced "Fox." Fuchs.

Then there was my roommate, Silverstone. Silverstein. Yup, named after a or a British racing circuit ... Or a Teflon-based brand of pots and pans. Or maybe, just maybe, he was a Jew whose name was assigned by the ruling Germans centuries ago to be humiliating and abusive. (Oh, wait, it was the third choice.)

"Friske" is Danish for "fresh." (Given the Danelaw, might actually be the original for the near doublet fresh/frisky. But don't care. Or how the word's changed its semantics, its meaning, over the centuries.)

Mocking something that's pretty much unchosen (last name) is like mocking something that's pretty much unchosen (hair genetics? eye color? height?)
