where did Leslie Blitzer get the name Wolf?

recently learned his name is Leslie. (had thought he must have had non-tradional brave parents to name him Wolf)

1. Because....
After having to live with being named Leslie, wouldn't you turn around and pick the scariest name you could get away with? ;)

3. Wolfgang
It's usually short for Wolfgang. If he's Leslie Wolfgang Blitzer, he may have decided to go with his middle name. I worked for a Leslie Joe who called himself Joe.

10. An Al Franken joke
at a White House Correspondents Dinner:
At a panel entitled You're Only as Sick as Your Secrets, Wolf Blitzer admitted that his real name is Leslie Blitzer.
