This could go in the references in daily life thread too but I wanted to reread his thread. I was reading an obit and saw the name Soileau, thought how I've never heard that name outside the BSC, and did my research. There are many Soileaus in Louisiana, where he is from. First name is obviously a family name but like, what would your nickname be? Hog??
So now I'm pretty sure I went to elementary school with a girl who is related to him, which I think is a bit awesome.

How do you pronounce his last name? I'm staring at it now and it's probably not how I've always said it in my head.

Better Hog than a nickname that sounds like Soiled, which is what his last name always makes me think of.
I'm *guessing* that in France his last name would be pronounced something like "swah-lo", but in America is pronounced something like "soi-lo".

I think it's mentioned in the author's note in Mallory's Christmas Wish, that it's said like "swallow."
