First of all, I am from the Czech Republic and “František Fuka” is my real name. To be more precise, there is a weird thing above the letter “s” that cannot be reproduced in ASCII. The whole name sounds somehow like “Fran-tjee-shek Foo-kah” (the “Foo” is short). “Fuxoft” is my nickname which I “invented” when I was about 12 years old and started programming first games for 8-bit computers. It was derived from “Fuka” + “soft[ware]” and is supposed to be pronounced “Fooksoft” (again, “foo” is short). I really don’t remember if I had any idea back then (in the year 1980) what certain four letter English words mean, but if I had, I didn’t care. (BTW, “Fuka” is certainly not usual Czech name and “František” means “Franciscus” or “Frank”.)
