Can you read this name ? -Old German handwriting

Question

I am trying to decipher the surname for Maria on the following record:

https://dfg-viewer.de/show?tx_dlf%5Bdouble%5D=0&tx_dlf%5Bid%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitales-archiv.erzbistum-muenchen.de%2Factaproweb%2Fmets%3Fid%3DRep_af298633-55a5-40bf-a155-cdd21e126559_mets_actapro.xml&tx_dlf%5Bpage%5D=102&cHash=5169f5ca9e4f1278ddd78f7a8d9e2d1e

(record just above "August" on right side of page for Maria, daughter of Wolfgang and Ursula)

I see Ekhertpöck.  The other records I have for Maria state her maiden name was Öckertpöck, Eggertpöck, and similar variations.  Is this the same person ? 

note: Hopefully the image will open. I have had issues with links to the Munich archives.

Hi Steven, 

Maria's surname reads Ekherspökh in this record, but her father's name was not Wolfgang but Walthasar (Balthasar). There is another one that's written more clearly 2 entries beneath this one. And there's an actual Wolfgang 3 entries above this one.

The a sometimes almost looks like an o here, for example in the next entry for Franciscus. So it should mean Walthasar even if it looks like Wolthosor(i). 

By the way, on the next page there is a Pat[rinus] Georgius Wimpichler ex Paroch[ia] Pleiskirch.

Thank you Vanessa.  I did manage to find additional records that allowed me to figure out that his name was Walthasar but did not know that was the same as Balthasar.  That helps a lot !     I put the other spellings I found in a program that would pronounce them and they all sound similar to me (although I do not speak german).

Hi Steven, 

instead of the t in "Öckertpöck, Eggertpöck, and similar variations", more likely it would be an s like in the two variants I saw (Ekherspökh here and Öckerspöckh in the marriage record). 

If you'd like those other spelling variations to be checked for s/t, just post some of your links here.

As for the similar sound, s/t clearly makes much more of a difference than ck/gg or e/ö. ;-)
