The other thing I like about German is that the spelling and

I tend to default to German for names like Rosenstein if I don't know how
the person says it. Often it's steen.

On the first day of a high school gym class the teacher asked how to
pronounce my name. He must have been tripped before by German names that
had been anglicized but may or may not have retained the original
pronunciation.
