Susann Cokal: Hello. My name is Susann Cokal. It's spelled S-U-S-A-N-N C-O-K-A-L. I think I'm the only person with that combination of letters. My first name is Danish. It's like Susan, but with two Ns. My mother was Danish, and my great-great-grandparents were Slovenian, and my last name was originally spelled C-O-K-L, which I'm told means either clog-- like the shoe, not what happens in the sink--or thickset. So, my name would mean something like Suzy Stumpy or Chubby Suzy if we were to translate it. But at least Susann means lily, which is nice.
