That is pronounced - Fridge - mobile.

When I first saw that company here - I looked at it when passing (it's down near the Bridge - lytton road way) I said "ooh there's a funny name to call a company - Frig - mobile, everyone just laughed at me, thought it was odd I had pronounced it that way - but come on - spell it that way and it's pronounced Frig in my book.

Anyway here's another one:

It took me a minute to figure that one out - "Wayne Kerr."

Apparently, Wanker is a fairly common surname in Germany.

Another one I've found:
