A Hungarian name

Grateful thanks to all who weighed in on my Hungarian naming quandary --  
Steven, Paul, Curt, Veronika, Andrea, Charles, and not least Christina, with 
whom I've been corresponding offlist. The references provided by Charles and 
Veronika were exactly what I needed to allay any qualms my editor might have 
about Gyula Hegyi being the guy.

And yes, those who suggested that the Russian author was confused on the 
correct order of Hungarian names are absolutely right. He gleefully mixed 
and matched throughout, randomly putting last names first and vice versa (or 
not ), with a liberal and often inappropriate use of initials. Kept me on my 
toes, though.

Best to all
Liv
