Frerk

Whilst tracing my family tree, I came across this fruity little number.

Y/Y?

sounds norweigan

Brilliant! Where is your family from? Are they hobbits?

We have a Pincus, a Hedwig and a Candida

They're from Germany, well, sort of, they're from a tiny island just off of Germany.

He called his son Frerk Jr. Pretty.

Boococks in my tree

Had they Tourette's?

... They might have done, I actually do have Tourettes in real life. Seriously.

We have a Theophilus DeVille.

Frerk sounds like a euphemism for something unsavoury. To me, anyway...

I wonder if it's a short version of Frederick? Either written as a short cut, or actually said that way.

'Frerk' sounds like the sort of thing teenagers did out the back of the school disco in the 1980s.
