I received this email today:

Subject: Quist W. Roxby

We decided to name our nutritional yeast at dinner, so we went around naming letters, until we had enough to anagram into a name. This was the name we settled on. I thought it sounded scandinavian enough that we should notify you.

touching, no?

That name sounds far more British to me!

I thought with all those "Blomquist"s and "Aggelby"s, Scandinavia was a more fitting location.

Hmm

"*quist" is definitely scandinavian!

but "w" and "x" do not exist in the swedish alphabet anymore.

roxby... sounds very english to me for some reason, but "by" does mean something like "village" in swedish, so there's some possibility there.

Quist W. Roxby... so mysterious!
