John Doe, thanks for that excellent reference material.

I am aware of variations of my own name, Raphael Lasar, in only two places:

Japan: Laphael Rasar
Brooklyn: Yo Douchebag.

Me neither.

Try googling for "Morten Menigmand". Nothing but John Doe-lists.
Try googling only Danish sites. No results!

"Austria Hans Meier, Hans Maier, Hans Mayer, Herr und Frau Österreicher"

right

i think exactly translated it'd be Joseph Hirschkuh oder Josef Rehgeiß or something like that

my vather is judge and he told me that there're so many "Maier"s or "Meier"s or "Mayer"s. i think it's not bad as a standart, virtual name


- sry for my english
