“Duboiswood”?? That is an unusual French name. “wood” is exclusively an English word, and “w” only exists in French from outside influence. At some point it must have been hyphenated. “Dubois-Wood”.
Bois is French for wood so at some point the last name got a literal English makeover.
Now that is what I call crazy beautiful. They sure know how to breed them in Utah.
She is so enchanting. She is a work of art. Those eyes…damn!
