   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 03.10.2024 02:58   
      
    AH>> The author, BTW, is generally known Over Here as A. A.   
    AH>> Milne.... :-)   
      
    AK>> It interesting how an Englishman would write this second name if   
    AK>> he had never seen it written? ;-)   
      
    AH> I noticed his middle name was identical to your first name. Is that   
    AH> what you had in mind? The name is not uncommon in English, although   
    AH> it may be shortened at times, and we spell it exactly as you do   
    AH> here.   
      
    AH> I've also noticed messages from other Russians who transliterate   
    AH> the name with a few variations... however, their spelling makes   
    AH> sense to me.   
      
    AH> I guess if I'd never seen your name written down &/or you asked me   
    AH> to approximate it phonetically I might spell it "A leg ZAN der".   
    AH> But I doubt your pronunciation would be very different from mine   
    AH> because the Russian "Mikhail" & the equivalent "Michael" sound the   
    AH> same to my untutored Anglophone ear.... :-)   
      
   I asked about the second name. How would you write it "Milne" or "Miln" if you   
   never saw it written.   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
