It's un-American not to have a one syllable nickname. ;-)

On the other hand, legal names have to be accommodated whether it's COBOL
on punch cards or entry fields on a web window. It would be nice to see
some sincere concern for the end user. AKA the one who pays for the
'service'.

English, Second 37 and Last over 60! He probably  spent as much time with
HR as
programming. Finally got promoted so didn't have  to fill out a time card.
Think
everybody just called him Raz....
