Fun tangent for the curious: Odd is a not-unheard-of name in Norway http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_%28name%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_%28name%29 This can make introductions and hand-shaking with visiting English speakers amusing: "Hello, I'm Odd"

Well .. I routinely have people questioning my name. Especially on internet forums.

  That's Danish for the Norwegian/Swedish Truls? I think your spelling looks even more like Troll than the Swedish variant :)

    In Norway, they are named "troll". The original.
  - troels 15y ago
    Yes - causes some confusion now and then. At least I'm not autoflagged by spam filters like the poor OP, so I guess I shouldn't complain.

Even funnier, Even is another Norwegian name. Meeting two Norwegians, you can hear "Hello, I'm Odd" "And I'm Even!"

  Even more funnier; there is 30 men in Norway with "Odd Even" as their first name (http://www.ssb.no/navn/ http://www.ssb.no/navn/)
