And, FWIW, a name in Russian aviation journalism, a name which I suspect
dates
from Peter the Great days - Yefim Gordon.

Thanks, Kevin.

And where would the Brazilian fashion industry be were it not for super
models like Luize Altenhofen, Letícia Birkheuer, Gisele Bündchen, Cintia
Dicker, Bruna Erhardt, Ana Hickmann, Ana Claudia Michels, Mariana Weickert,
Solange Wilvert, Raquel Zimmermann? (I guess they'd just have to get over
this Nordic blond thing.)

Argentina has more than its fair share of soccer players of German descent,
such as Mauro Gerk, Claudio Fernando Graf, Federico Lussenhoff, Gustavo
Andrés Oberman, Raúl Daniel Schmid, Gabriel Schürrer and Víctor Zwenger. And
a very notable Argentinian of whose Irish descent few people know: Che
Guevara, legally Che Guevara Lynch.

Among scores of famous Chileans with "ethnic" names are Rene Ríos Boettiger,
Carlos Caszely, Christián de Groote, Jorge Edwards, Alejandro Foxley, Tomás
René Hirsch Goldschmidt, Claudio Grossman, Sebastián Keitel, Carlos Kaiser,
Mario Kreutzberger ( a.k.a. "Don Fernando" of the international TV show Sábado
Gigante), Sergio Sapo Livingstone, Andrónico Luksic, Patricio Lynch, Juan
MacKenna, Lucía Newman (now a senior US TV journalist), Sergio Vodanović and
Andrés Wood.

There are long lists of famous Russians with "mixed" names, such as Владимир
Иванович Даль (Vladimir Dahl < Danish), Сергей Юльевич Витте (Sergei
Yulyevitch Witte < Dutch/North German), Андрей Иванович Штакеншнейдер (Andrei
Ivanovich Stackenschneider < German), Антон Мануилович Девиер (Anton
Manuilovich Devier < António Manuel de Vieira < Portuguese), Святослав
Николаевич Рерих (Svetoslav Nikolayevich Roerich < German), Елизавета
Павловна Гердт (Elizaveta Pavlovna Gerdt < German), Фаддей Фаддеевич
Беллинсгаузен (Faddey Faddeyevich Bellinsgauzen* *< Fabian Gottlieb Thaddeus
von Bellingshausen < German), Фердинанд Петрович Врангель (Ferdinand
Petrovich Vrangel < Ferdinand von Wrangel < German), and these are only some
of the historic ones.

And France's new prime minister: Nicolas Sarkozy (legally Nicolas Paul
Stéphane Sarközy de Nagy-Bocsa).

Reinhard/Ron

And English cricket players (past and present) Nasser Hussein, Monty Panesar
and Mark Ramprakash.  I guess we're saying people move around a bit!
