[BerntR]

Innercity,

This is amusing. You are taking this thread to new heights.

My first name is Bernt. It is a short form of the German name Bernhard and means Strong Bear. Why my parents gave me such a name is still a mystery.

I basically knew it before I moved to Texas, but I get daily confirmations that the world isn't ready for my name yet. And probably never will be. (Well, when I think of it, there are even norwegians who struggle with capturing it.) Anyway, those who need to know here in Houston are usually down and counting after we are done with the first name. And very few has made it past the second vowel in my family name yet.

My wife suggested that I reinvented myself as B5. That would be sort of taking the name after the Eyjafjallajökull volcano on Island that was nicknamed E16 by the CNN reporter because it had something like 16 syllables and was regarded impossible to pronounce. Concequently my family name would be R17.
