ArchivesRe: Another approach (serioujs, this time) ... Mike C. pls advise!
in reply to a message by Pavlos
Ah lahk it!
Anneza is just Anne (my middle name) plus ZA, which is our international code - web addresses are .co.za, international car licence plates are ZA. Goes back to the merry days when our official languages were English and Dutch. Just a useful handle that even I can't forget ...
Anna - Afrikaans form - can have 2 diminutive forms in Afrikaans: Annie (sounds like Unnie) or Annetjie (sort-of Unnuhkey). (And Pavlos would look like Paul and sound like Pole.)

..that's so funny, I took it for granted that Anneza was a bona fide name (a wonderful one, to boot!), and had even included it in my database :P
