Peter Lerangis: Hello. My name is Peter Lerangis. That's Lerangis, which rhymes with... nothing, but it's similar to... nothing. Why? Because my grandfather made it up. The real last name was Lyrantzis, and if it were still Lyrantzis, I could say it rhymed with Greece, which is where the name came from, but he must have thought the name was too hard to pronounce. So he changed it to L-E-R-A-N-G-I-S, Lerangis, which no one can pronounce, except now, you.
