My full English name is Robert James Hailman. Robert because my parents like it, James after my great-grandfather (mother's father's father, for those ambiguity-hating types out there) who died shortly before I was born. My Hebrew name is Chanoch or something like that (/xanox/), after another great-grandfather. (father's father's father) The English form of Chanoch is Enoch, (/inVk/ or something like that) which I occasionally include in my English name, especially when using initials: R. J. E. Hailman. -- Robert
