A funny association in my head: "Simak" strikes me as a quintessentially American name.

Clifford Simak's neighbors probably thought of him as that fucking Russki. (Slovak, anyway.)

But the Americana-focused nature of his writing has completely washed over the origin of the name itself, in my head.
