Learning German beginner here (I'm somewhere above A2 but probably not B1 yet).

I had exactly the same concerns as you. My brain was very confused by this name and I was wondering if I got something wrong.

Turns out it's just an American making fake-German. Huh. So this is what it feels like....

It's a better job than a lot of fake German words by Americans. But it's still not quite right to me.
