Well one of the weird things is the whole family have different surnames. The father's surname ends with 'as' and so does the sons. The wifes ends in 'iene' and the daughters ends in 'aite'. I am Lithuanian myself and one of the most annoying things is that sometimes in celeb mags if they are mentioning someone who is not Lithuanian and is a male they put ''as' after the name and surname. -G
