People with unusual names must go thru hell in
elementary school.  Jeez it was hard enough being
Greg Jones.  Somehow the kids managed to come up
with wordplay, or failing that, Pope Gregory.  
Imagine if I had been Mortimer Phlegmhorker.

Perhaps Damien is common in Australia?

Not annoyed, just curious.  I hadn't followed the entire
thread, and didn't know if you were referring to one of
David Brin's books and had the title off a little.

My brother-in-law's name is Sean.  He got so tired of
being called Seen that he changed it to Scott.  {8^D  spike
