(S3) - Weekend PT #2 - What's in a name?

[Big Country]

No, I'm going to go after another name. Former Otter Offensive Lineman, Shjom Finkelarkin. I don't even know if I spelled that right. Like what nationality is that supposed to be? How do you say that crap? Shjom. Those letters in that order do not register in my brain as a word. I've tried. Shajom? Shejom? Shhhh-jom? I don't know. And then you got that last name. Finkenlarkin. What is that? How does someone settle upon that name for their player? It sounds like an 80s buddy cop duo. The adventures of Fink n' Larkin! Tune in as wise crackin' Fink makes his partner and straight laced cop Larkin's job a living misery. That  actually sounds a lot better than this last name monstrosity.

The M in Shjom is a typo that never got fixed. He was always supposed to be Shjon, which is pronounced like Shawn or Sean. It's after an old NHL player Shjon Podein. I always thought it looked like a very Nordic way to spell Sean. Finkenlarkin is actually exactly what you said it was though, two guys I know go by their last names and they are always together so people would always say "Fink and Larkin". One day someone said Finkenlarkin sounded like a Swedish last name so I created the most Swedish sounding non-Swedish name ever: Shjon Finkenlarkin.
