If you want to talk about people screwing up names, why does Peter Maher keep calling Kenny Agostino 'tommy'??

Though it's kind of fun to see you all struggle with all those Dutch names over the years, I can tell you that Backlunds pronunciation was close to perfect (if you were to pronounce it in proper Dutch)

I would even say it was better than Bryce his own pronunciation.

-Cheers!
My family is Dutch and we do not pronounce our last name anything like they would in the Netherlands. None of us even know how to say it haha.

If you ain't dutch, you ain't much!

I was referring to the little statues 'the contented man and woman of Brabant'

lol I feel for the guy. I remember when I had to explain to people how to pronounce my name, it was hilarious at times. But he seems to be having fun with it, good for him.

I like the nickname bubbles for him personally. Especially with him being a bruiser type guy.
