Brendan Reichs: Hello. My name is Brendan Reichs. Now, Brendan is an Irish name in the traditional Irish spelling, although growing up in the South, I definitely learned to respond to Brandon just as easily. That's just what you get in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Reichs is the Latvian form of a common German last name, Reich. It's very rare. I can safely say that I'm related to every single Reichs in the United States. The easiest way to remember it, is that it rhymes with bikes or likes, as in, I really likes Brendan Reichs. Hopefully that terrible joke will help you never forget how to pronounce my name.
