What’s in a Name?
Why I’m changing mine to Steve Fendt
Worldwide, there are enough Williamses to populate a small country.
Of them, there are enough Stephen / Steven / Steve Williamses to populate a medium-sized town; although they’d probably prefer to share this hypothetical metropolis with a similar number of Jennifer Joneses and Amanda Smiths. Otherwise, Stevewilliamsville will eventually become a ghost town.
Steve Williams is a busy and cosmopolitan chap. He’s a Kiwi golf caddy; a Welsh stand-up comedian; an English Olympic rower; an English Premier League soccer player; a US actor, and an Argentinian snowboarder. In his spare time (?) he is a Clinical Lecturer in Cardiac Electrophysiology.
Steve Williams has written books on topics as diverse as evolution, harmonica playing, thriller fiction, marriage counselling, 68000 programming … and learning German (that’s me, folks!).
I have multiple personalities. Fortunately they inhabit different bodies. There is even another Steve Williams who attends my doctor’s surgery and is a member of my yacht club. The stingy bugger has never paid my bar bill, though I live in hope.
Maybe we Steve Williamses of the world ought to hold a convention. We could have a raffle: ‘First prize is a gold-plated banjo! And the winner is: Steve…
