Default [coryphaeus] Re: Sender IDs

>> as they say in the UK--forename

In the UK!?!?

I thought that was purely a South Africanism, calque of _voornaam_.

Of course, nowadays in the UK, local government is so politically
correct, they won't say christian name even with a small c, for fear
of giving offence.

But the US has been doing someting similar for years, so don't be
smug. "Happy Holidays"? Yeah.
