Okay, the last post is still cranking away, breaking all my personal records for comment response. I guess it struck a nerve. Lots of good suggestions for points I missed -- I could see the essay snowballing hugely if I ever went for revisions. Hell, it could almost be a franchise. I am amused to note, though, that several people end up "disagreeing" with, or adding to my list, but telling me things I already said. I guess I'd better work on my clarity, huh?

There are almost no Americans named Ulrika, no. In my case, I have it because I started out as a Swede. If you spell it 'Ulrike' that's usually German, as I presume you know.

Yes. My mother attended high school in Germany and named me after her friend, so I have a German name, even though I was born and raised here and neither of my parents is German.
