It's pronounced Ha-quez. For some reason, a lot of people pronounce it as Jacques. I'm not French!  | |

I mean, why couldn't my shit have been Jones, Smith, Brown...instead I got SCHUE...what kinda shit is that...do you realize how shitty it is to hear lame ass shoe jokes your entire life... 
fucked up last name folks unite, let your voice be heard... how lame is it that i was thinking about this last night 
but instead of being embarrassed by your last name try to imagine a long line of shoemakers somewhere in your family history... valued and well off members of society. and yes, you were john the shoemaker instead of john smith. it's just the way it was.

on one side the surname they have isn't even their name... it's the name of the feudal landlord's farm for whom they worked in norway! when they came to the states there were too many norwegians with the same surname so they changed theirs.
they married descendants of english farmers. so another occupational surname. george. and my mother's cousin was named george george. after his grandfather!!
on the german side we liked to marry our cousins quite a bit. now that is something to be about. (including my grandparents lmao!) one side's name means "bad water" and the other side is probably a derivative of house or dwelling.
so being a shoemaker shouldn't look so bad

Uh...I think I would KNOW how my own last name is spelled
I've had people insist to me that my last name IS Peterson!
People can't seem to get their heads around one more tiny little letter T.   | |
