Sopotiuk is a surname of Eastern European (Ukrainian/Polish) origin, often indicating a locational or geographical background. It is derived from the Slavic root "sopot," meaning "small stream" or "brook," with the "-iuk" suffix acting as a patronymic, meaning "descendant of" someone living near a stream.
Poland and Ukraine are majority Christian countries.
Also, surnames aren't "Christian" or "not Christian" like given names can be. Sopotiuk's first name Johnny is a nickname for John, a name that may appear more than once in the Christian Bible. :)
For another example, 28% to 30% of South Korea's population identifies as Christian, or about 13.5 to 15 million people. Think their names "look Christian"? LOL
The red flag for me was when I saw the name: Jonny Sopotiuk
That's NOT a Christian name...
WTF kind of asshole name is that?
Sure sounds to me like it's made up
Having been around the block a few times, seems like the kind of fake name the IC would come up with...
It's a UNIQUE name...still and asshole name noetheless

Jonny with no "h" is not considered a "Christian" spelling...
Just like Steven and Stephen...
You heard I what I meant...or at least the spirit of it...but you're playing the gerbil's advocate...
Another red flag is MSDNC editing the photo to make the guy look less soy-infused. Why would they do that? Nobody knows.
