Greek wannabes

I have been giving some of my students Greek names. (My wife Nancy I rechristened Anastasia, which means resurrection, some years ago.) John den Boer is of course Ioannis. Richard Greydanus I have renamed Vasilis, where the meanings of the two names are roughly equivalent. Graham Ware so likes his new monicker, Evghenis (Eugene), that he has put it at the top of his blog. As I always say, there are two kinds of people in the world, Greeks and those who wish to be Greeks.
