Fruit and trees, right?
That was actually the stage name of an English music hall performer.
I once got a letter from a client's contract manager whose last name was spelled "Fuchs." It took me 2 days to get up enough nerve to call her back. She laughed when I asked how to pronounce her last name. "Foosh," she said, adding that she married into the name.
