Dude, they ask about my wife, too, and her name is about as Teutonic as you could possibly imagine (most people on Facebook spell it with a ß). AND she looks the part - chick coulda walked off the pages of Heidi and you'd think nothing of it. The same people who will ask about European-sounding names are the exact same ones that aren't allowed to ask about names from literally anywhere else.
