Really? It sounds/looks Japanese. I'll have to do a search. ----- Okay, did a search, and it comes back as Japanese, Slavic, and Finnish. Thanks anyway.

LOL Thanks, JH. This one isn't for a book, but for a, er, revised nursery rhyme. I'm not even sure where to get it published, but that's beside the point right now.
But yes, I do predict that you will get to read my book(s) sometime. I fully intend on getting published and becoming well-read. Why not?
And yes, JH, in this instance at least, you are a genius. You delivered, and in style.
And this confirms, yet again, why Hatcrack is the greatest!

Style? What style? I was mocking German and Italian names. But for you I'll accept it!
I have a nursery rhyme too, for teenagers:
Pimple, pimple, little brat, Why the <beep> are you so fat? On my face - you <beep, beep, beep> - You perpetually just sit!

I usually use online baby name sites, but since I needed something so specific (two syllables, ending in an O sound), it seemed quicker to post here rather than wade through those sites.

I know a German named Guido. We pronounde it /gi-do/. So with the uniquely g sound but no U sound.

Hatrack is incredibly speedy. I love it.

One of the German's I work with in Münster is named Guido. They all definitely pronounce it "Gwee-do" not Gee-do.

I have a friend who goes by the name Otto. I think she'd appreciate having a thread that appreciates her nickname.
