I'm way ahead on that one, just look at my name for goodness sakes! ;o)

<ahem>

I'd like to point out that my name, as written on my birth certificate
rather than some made-up 'net nick, means `Fame of the land, No. 1
son+heir of the great chief/world ruler/somesuch bollocks'.

So there.

Rowland.

P.S. The middle two names they gave me make me a dodgy Arab, but never
mind that.
