Yep, kids, the world really is full of Fockers. Well, not completely full. The name is fairly common in the Netherlands, and variations include Fock, Focke, Fockes, Focck, Fockk, Foock, Fohck, Fockez and Fockz. While rare in the States — there were no Fockers registered in the 1990 nationwide census — there is a family crest featured at the House of Names Web site.
And there are enough Fockers out there that Universal Pictures staged a Focker family reunion at Universal Studios Orlando last month. For three days, people with the legal last name Focker were invited to share their family histories and stories with other Fockers.
Apparently, the clan is quite large in British Columbia, Canada, as 21 members of the extended Focker family flew in from there to join in the festivities. To beef up the guest list, some Foeckings from Cleveland and New York were flown in as well.
Presumably, they had a Foecking good time.
