Thanks, but you did hit on an interesting family custom. My father's name was Theodore, but went by the name of Ted. He hated the name Theodore, but liked Ted.
Throughout his life people kept telling him that his name was short for Theodore. So, when it came to naming me, he added and extra "d" and made it "Tedd" so people couldn't confuse it with Theodore. When I had a son, I considered naming him "Teddd", but thought it might be a bit strange.
I don't use "Tedd" anymore, because that was my previous life when I used to have purpose. Now a simpler "tedd" has risen from the ashes with no purpose whatsoever -- it makes life so much easier.
Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
