Etymology of "Cliff"

Take a Mexican immigrant (legal immigrant, natch!).
And a cubo-kraut.

Throw a little Vicente Fernandez on the box, maybe a jigger or two of fine rum. Wait 9 months.

In laboratory-controlled experiments, 10 out of 10 resulting humanlings will not wind up with "Cliff" pronouns attached to them...

The former DNA contributor would be hopelessly confused, and would assume you're talking about spaghetti westerns (a la Lee Van "Cleef").
The later would be intrasigent, and demand on more geneologically-approved names like "Darwin" or "Wilmer" or "Alexsylsis".

There is no "Cliff". And if there is, it's a diminutive of "Cliffordingtonhoffer".

Prove me wrong!
