M. Eicheldinger: Hi, my name is Matt Eicheldinger. My last name is pronounced eye-kul-ding-ur. The unique thing about my name is I was told by a German teacher in high school that my last name stands for tree thingy in German, if you were to do a direct translation. And tree thingy is actually the very tip of the acorn, the little hat that's on top of the acorn. So I like what my last name means because it's unique. And I also like my last name because there's not a lot of Eicheldingers in the world. They are few and far between here in the United States. And I think it's fun when I do run across another Eicheldinger, we usually find that we are somehow connected to family.
