551.0. "Help....." by SKYWAY::RASCHER () Fri Jul 06 1990 13:41

    Hi all out there in the world,
    
    When somebody ask me my surname everybody has to ask twice.
    
    I wonder why nobody knows it or why this name is only in Switzerland
    given. I travelled a lot, but I never met anyone saying he knows
    my name except when he was swiss.
    
    By the way the female name like Beatrice, Beatrix is very popular all
    over the world.
    
    Can somebody tell me if he has ever heard "Beat" as a males' name?
    
    thanx a lot

551.1Is it a nickname?NYSBU::CHANGFri Jul 06 1990 14:308
    I've never heard of it - only lived in New England states in USA.
    
    Is Beat your whole name or is it a nickname for something else?
    Yes, I have heard of the feminine forms but never knew anyone with
    those names either.

    Not at all, it's my full surname.
    
    In fact it's: Beat Urs Rascher
    
    Impossible to pronounce it in english but i'll try to explain:
    
    Beeh-at -  Ours - Raahsheehr
    
    perfectly, isn't it?
