Heck, Frits look at what they did to my name. Rittinghoysen to Rittenhouse. Of course that was 300+ years ago (grin).

10 years ago, I met another Rittenhouse. He was my dan's age and they looked like brothers. When he showed me his family tree we found out the closest relation we both had was the guy who changed it back when the English took over New Holland and renamed it New York. Talk about your ressesive genes, 600 years.

As somebody whose name is frequently miss-spelled (people feel the need to
add an e for some reason), I agree that you shouldn't change the format of
your name just to conform.  Unless you want to.
I would suggest adding a comma though if that's not a problem.  If your
email showed your name as "Boros, Attila"  most people would understand
which name goes where.

no E, thanks


People in the USA and the UK seem to change the spelling of my forename into one ending with a 'z' instead of an 's'.
The spelling with an 's' is the Dutch way.
