Hi, Ardith Hinton!
I read your message from 03.10.2024 02:58

 AH>> The author, BTW, is generally known Over Here as A. A.
 AH>> Milne.... :-)

 AK>> It interesting how an Englishman would write this second name if
 AK>> he had never seen it written? ;-)

 AH> I noticed his middle name was identical to your first name. Is that
 AH> what you had in mind? The name is not uncommon in English, although
 AH> it may be shortened at times, and we spell it exactly as you do
 AH> here.

 AH> I've also noticed messages from other Russians who transliterate
 AH> the name with a few variations... however, their spelling makes

 AH> I guess if I'd never seen your name written down &/or you asked me

 AH> But I doubt your pronunciation would be very different from mine

I asked about the second name. How would you write it "Milne" or "Miln" if you
never saw it written.

Bye, Ardith!
