@matigo It goes the other way, too. My best friend growing up was extremely Polynesian in appearance, although his father was of Swedish origin and gave him a Swedish name. He ended up marrying someone from the oh-so-Scandinavian upper Midwest, and I've always wondered what her parents' reaction was the first time she brought him home to meet them, and they found out that Eric Lund was a tall, brown Hawaiian guy. :-)
