A couple things- Seth Green was on Buffy for 3 seasons. When making a film or tv show that has a negative portrayal of a character, the producers have to make sure the name is common enough to not be traced back to a single person. So for Meet the Parents, they had to make sure there were enough Gaylord Fockers out there (or none) so that they couldn't be sued for defamation, enough so that someone with that name couldn't claim the film was talking about them.
