middle name CRAPO ???

New England last name from French Crepeaux of Bordeaux.
Shortened both there (France) and here. I'd have considered it an Americanization (like removing the -ski- from Polish names) but apparently done in France, too.
Long -a-, long -o- on Crapo.

Yes, long A. Still, there's something about driving down Crapo street in Flint.
