culture
厄根 is a generic transliteration template used for several Western surnames ending in '-gun', '-gen', or '-gan'. The most prominent bearer in business news is Charlie Ergen (查理·厄根), founder and chairman of EchoStar/Dish Network.
memory
厄 (è) handles the harsh 'er' opener; 根 (gēn) covers the '-gun/-gen' tail. Same 厄 appears in 厄运 ('misfortune'), so the character has a slightly grim flavour even when used for foreign names.
