[Vision2020] Re: Vision2020 Digest, Vol 26, Issue 97

Nils,

Amen to that!

I, too, hated my name. I've since found out it works well for me, since it
IS different.


Kai (rhymes with pie)

Tariq  (tah reek, yeah its Arabic. Anybody got a problem with it, besides
screeners when I fly?)

Eiselein (Just say eyes line)

Tom,

Growing up, especially in high school, I resented that my parents gave me an
unusual name (even if it is Swedish and I was born in Minnesota). However, I
have come to see the wisdom, if not actually enjoy, the name -- given how
many people manage to mis-hear it on the phone or mispronounce or misspell
it (Nil, Niles, Nels, Niells, ......) Its Nils like Pills (or if you prefer
Pils).
