Has anyone ever accused Finn Fisher-Black of being Finnish?

Presumably an abbreviation of Finlay, Fintan or (if his family has Cork connections) Finbarr, all of which essentially translate as fair haired. How true you consider that to be might vary considerably according to what photo you are looking at at the time, but easy to believe that it was fair when he was young.

I don't really understand why Mielke and Schmidt find it difficult to pronounce. But then unlike me they've probably never holidayed in Gschwendt am Wolfgangsee.
