It clearly indicates that Hugh is not only your real name (there is a 'Claude "Pete" Davis' in my database, who was called 'Pete' although that was no part of his "real" name), but it is the name you used. The duplication may look a little odd, but it is unambiguous, and, I think, clear to anyone. -- T.M. Sommers -- ab2sb
