Bagdasarian:  if you pay attention to credits at the end of films, you will
catch a lot of Armenian last names.  (We're a creative bunch!)  :>

Armenian name:  3 syllables, the third being "ian", as in "son of".  If it's
only two syllables, then someone back when dropped one of the syllables.

Just some more "triia"....

P.s. Some Armenians will tell you "a" can't follow "k", but there's a whole
bunch of us that don't seem to know that, and wander around with a
supposedly misspelled last name.  Besides, Kash has a nicer ring to it than
Kesh!
