The story goes, by Westlake himself, that he took the name of
Dortmunder from the brand of a very well known German beer...
He pretended the name sounded well.
I cannot find back the reference to this declaration, but I
came across it again in he recent months, when searching
about Westlake.
So maybe we could vote you for an HB egg and a beer, which
was by the way a typical early morning treat in some part of
Europe after a "difficult" night.
On the other hand, Westlake is a master of juggling with
names, so...?
