I mean Andrew makes perfect sense to me.
And Oldham is fine -- no problem there.
But Loog?
A "loog" to me is a name for a big nasal oyster!
I guess looking at him as a youngster, one could make that mistake:
Can't fault him for noticing talent tho!! |

Loog is the Scottish word for "wanker" |

well
Some books suggest wrongly that "Loog" was a made-up middle name inspired by Oldham's interest in A Clockwork Orange (in which "droog" means "friend");
Oldham's father was Andrew Loog, a Texan airman of Dutch ancestry who was killed in the Second World War before Oldham was born

So blame the Dutch (as usual) |
