Wolfgang must have hated filling out those letter bubbles for his name on standardized tests in school.

Interesting story, thanks for letting me know ;) Try “JÃ¤gerschnitzel” next time, I like it even more :)

JanB, I have an affinity for the German language, and also Wiener Schnitzel! So that's how the name came to be. ;-)

I went to Germany last year, and now I miss eating Wiener Schnitzel. There's actually a few places here in San Francisco where you can get it, but it's not the same.

As being a German this really confused me when I saw the title of the post and thought I should know this guy :O The last name is equivalent to the english “Steakhouse” but Wiener Schnitzel instead of a steak ;) I wonder how you made this name up!?

Point well made. From a computer standpoint, I tend to use my name for testing and design work:

GaÃ«tan Voyer-Perrault

Both parts of the name legitimately includes a special character (that's left alt+137 on the num pad). Though I do only have 15 characters instead of 19 in that last name. Those special characters are often forgotten during testing and it's pretty appalling how often my name appears as: Ga%$tan or Gatan or something silly I've also had to submit Voyer Perrault (no dash) b/c certain sites don't accept the dash. Of course, the dash is on my credit card, so you can see how this might cause issues :)

really a long name… on a businness card you can reduce fonts but in this case you must provide glasses to everyone… a smile
