Greg 'groggy' Lehey said on May 29, 2002 at 12:42:38: > How do the French come to terms with your name? They pronounce my first name like the French "Raoul" (and sometimes spell it that way too). In the second name, they elongate the "i", leave out the stress in "ddh" and "th", and pronounce the last "an" the French way with a nasal ending (it should be more like the French "jeune" but I'm not changing the spelling for their benefit....) It's still recognizable. In any case, English speakers often have trouble with my name too. - Rahul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
