Very interesting tread Tom. 

@ Rich, funy story.
@Valou, nice family history
@Sue , nothing wrong with your name I find it a nice woman name.

My name "Tunde"  is Hungarian. I am living in australia, no offence but 9 out of 10 can not say my name. Straight away they call my Trudy, don't ask why. Interesting thou American and other Europian nationality ppl can say it straight away. So yeah sometimes I wish my name is something more english friendly.
( pronounced Tun-de. The Tun part you don't say "TAN" you say like it would be written "Toon-de"  Like a car-TOON...I know silly way to explane it but working, they understand it here down under)
