I gather that. After all I'm Blessed Horselover Jehovamercyson myself...
"Fat" was rather lenient, given what "Dick" means in **English** -- I
imagine a possible Italian/Hispanic alter_ego Filippo/Felipe Gallo... (for
FKD that is, not for BPJ -- I would be Benedetto Filippo
de'Graziadiddio/Benito Felipe Graciasadios! Wholly inapprop of course! :-)
A Q to you Hebrew-savvy conlangers: I know my first and last names become
Baruch and Iochanan, but whattabout Philip/Horselover?
