I'm sorry. My first thought was a got the name wrong, and I'm sure I'm
_that_ crazy.  It's the "k," it gives the wrong impression to us
anglophones.  (Actually, I have met a "him" in the States named Kristian
with a "k". I remember thinking how odd that was.) Sorry again. Would you
believe it was a typo? My finger slipped, honest!

Go ahead, laugh. I'm laughing now. Ha. ha. (Note to self...)
