   Hi, Alexander!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:   
      
   AH>  The author, BTW, is generally known Over Here as   
   AH>  A. A. Milne.... :-)   
      
   AK>  It interesting how an Englishman would write this   
   AK>  second name if he had never seen it written? ;-)   
      
      
             I noticed his middle name was identical to your first name.  Is that   
   what you had in mind?  The name is not uncommon in English, although it may be   
   shortened at times, and we spell it exactly as you do here.   
      
             I've also noticed messages from other Russians who transliterate the   
   name with a few variations... however, their spelling makes sense to me.   
      
             I guess if I'd never seen your name written down &/or you asked me   
   to approximate it phonetically I might spell it "A leg ZAN der".  But I doubt   
   your pronunciation would be very different from mine because the Russian   
   "Mikhail" & the equivalent "Michael" sound the same to my untutored Anglophone   
   ear....  :-)
