I always thought Olaf was the last name. I didn't even know that Olaf could be a first name. Then again, ASOUE has some odd names. Sunny? Klaus? Quigley?

Olaf is traditionally a first name Also, in TGG Lemony mentions evil cousin, and I kinda gathered then that Olaf was his cousin, considering the O in the UA and the noose hanging from it And it must be a family tree, cos Chas Snicket is the grandfather and he is positioned exactly where he should be as a grandfather Although its possible that he is the grandmaster of VFD, but I still believe it is a family tree Also I believe somehwere in the series Lemony mentions being betrayed by a family member (I remember, but no one else seems to, mebe I was dreaming...) so, in conclusion, I reckon Olaf is Lemony's cousin and that his last name is either Snicket, or F(his parent) married someone else and Olaf his their last name Note: Most VFD families seem to marry into each other... I think so its entirely possiblet that Olaf's last name is Anwhistle, or Winnipeg, or Kornbluth or Snicket or even Baudelaire (?!?!)

C. M. Kornbluth from TSS, and one of the Snow Scouts.
And the only name in aSoUE that I've seen so far that isn't real is Lemony. Even Quigley's real - on JKR's site, then she says that she has a friend called Quigley.

I've always thought that Olaf was Lemony's cousin, therefore his last name is Snicket. This would also explain why he and Jacques(and possibly Lemony) have those unibrows--it's genetic as well as the result of not shaving enough. WHAT? Olaf is Lemony's cousin? But that would mean that Lemony is related to the Baudelaires!

Hay! My very first thread was about this!
But, I think that Olaf is his last name. When somebody is given a title it is usually said with the last name instead of the first.

I always thought Count was a title, Olaf was his first name..
It seems that everyone in the VFD, or mentioned in the Series heavily, is related somehow, if not by blood than by reputation.

I think it's possible that everyone in VFD is related; some have suggested that the initials in fact stand for Volunteer Family Detectives--although I doubt this myself. If the Autobio's family tree is valid, Olaf is indeed Lemony's cousin. This implies that Lemony may well adopt the Baudelaires someday, maybe in the last book.

That is an EXCELLENT theory ;D It would explain how Lemony knows that Klaus lies in bed many years later, remembering something It would be and incredibly spiffy ending It never occured to me either that, or the remaining parent will adopt them

Hey that would be a good ending! ;D I never really thought about it before...
I always assumed Olaf's last name was infact Olaf, and that his first name was T... I agree though, about the families all inter-linking. I've tried to map it out loads of times, but it just doesn't come together for some reason. Must be alot of splits etc...
(btw: the "Klaus- years later" quote... that sort of knocks himm out of the dying list.. are there any other quotes like that? I thought there was one for Sunny somewhere...)
