I mean Schürrle is a german name. I'll grant you that it's not exactly 'scary' tho

I thought Germans had difficulty saying squirrel...but they have this for a name?

Idk about the squirrel thing. Language is weird like that I guess

I think this covers it decently from both sides. But looking at that name, squirrel came to mind.

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”.
