There's a number of people in south western Ontario, that "Westernized" that name by changing the c to a k.

So, yeah. Kuntz is a lot better. Right.
They pronounce it Koonts, but one of them told me that it's really pronounced like ya think it's pronounced.

Tell you the truth, I've never seen the name spelled like that over here. Neither has my wife, who is the actual German. I call jackassery on this one.
