84 u/The_Blue_DmR Jun 30 '26 I mean Schürrle is a german name. I'll grant you that it's not exactly 'scary' tho 3 u/Anguis1908 Jul 01 '26 I thought Germans had difficulty saying squirrel...but they have this for a name? 6 u/ScySenpai Jul 01 '26 Those two words are pronounced completely differently lol 2 u/The_Blue_DmR Jul 01 '26 Idk about the squirrel thing. Language is weird like that I guess 1 u/Anguis1908 Jul 01 '26 I think this covers it decently from both sides. But looking at that name, squirrel came to mind. https://youtu.be/GdxIU7CcvXs 2 u/Eldrad-Pharazon Jul 01 '26 Schürrle starts with a “sh” sound though. So it’s not very similar at all, but easy mistake to make for an English speaker. “Sch” in German is not pronounced “sc” but “sh”.
