Gerald Hausman: Hello. My name is Gerald Hausman. That is spelled H-A-U-S-M-A-N, but people love to say Hoosman or Hoseman or Hoserman or Hosman. This is quite common and I'm used to it. The name is actually German. My family on my father's side came from Budapest from Hungary. I'm told there were name given streets where you could purchase a nice middle class name, and we may have been "guilty" of this.
