A maybe true, very short story
A maybe true, very short story:
A believed to be, once long ago, descendant of Vincent Van Gogh, now named only Paul Gogh (pronounced 'Goff' in British English), met a beautiful Vietnamese woman called Du Me Le (pronounced Do May Lay).
Being of Dutch ancestry and having had only experiences around his immediate kin as a young man, he was quickly entranced by the mystique and uniqueness of this stunning beauty. The affair was an immediate and passionate one.
After a few months of courtship, Du Me, let Paul become aware she was with child. Paul was ecstatic. They quickly both went into his home-town to celebrate with their closest friends.
After many toasts and cheers to their new found news, they were soon bewildered as to what they would name there soon-to-be child. Being a fair and noble gentleman, Paul agreed to name their child after Du Me's father, Phac. As this name could also be used as a unisex name in Viet culture. But Paul was also a very proud lad and insisted the child would take only his last name.
So, after many more toasts and cheers that night, it came to be that their beautiful newborn baby would be named Phac Gogh.
They lived happily ever after.
