[Member Intro] FAZ Trivia

[David Zemdegs]

Where did the name FAZ come from?
When we found out it was a boy, I insisted that his initials should be FZ as I am a big fan of the musician Frank Zappa.
We also decided on a name that wasn't too common.
Feliks is spelt with 'ks' instead of 'X' as I have a Latvian background and there is no 'X' in the Latvian alphabet.
My wife insisted he have a middle name. I also though that the initials should be a word in itself so the middle name had to start with a vowel.
We ruled out FIZ and FUZ for obvious reasons!
'A' seemed the most neutral so that's how FAZ came about.

Wow, that’s pretty cool to hear about! And here I thought all this time it was because of that translation error and Faz meaning fast…

(shoutout if you get that reference)

So what is his middle name?

 

[Thom S.]

Aleksander if I know correctly.

Some wild stuff. I thought you named him that just because you knew he had a bright future the moment you decided to name him...

I don’t think most parents expect their kids to become world class Rubik’s cube solvers lol

Aleksanders - The rule for Latvian male names is that they all must end in 'S'.
