O_O Frank from Triantafyllos??
in reply to a message by Pavlos
I have four relatives by that name, but their anglicised names actually make sense!
I have to tell my brother this... whose name, in fact, is Triantafyllos, but we all call him Trian :) (Can you imagine the horror of the clerk at the very Canadian airport when he and the others with this name checked in, one after the other, with the same first AND last name? :P)

It certainly makes no sense. The Triantafyllos in question was in a business meeting a few years ago with a bunch of English people who were at pains trying to pronounce his name. Someone from the group said "why dont we just call you Frank". The rest is history~!
