Flake ws born in Snowflake, Arizona.
I’ve been there—it is part of the White Mountains traditional Arizonan vacation-land. I always thought that it was called “Snowflake” because it is one of the few places in Arizona where it snows every winter.
But here’s the scoop on the real reason for the town’s name:

Jeff Flake is a descendent of Mormon pioneers who founded the town of Snowflake. So his flaky behavior is not really due to living up to his name.
Flake will not be able to vote until he downloads the daily doctrine update from the Mormon Church to check to make sure that he is following his religion.
