My parents gave me the name Heinrich, which is Henry in English. My childhood friends thought Heinrich was a bit long and old-fashioned, so they called me Heinz, similar to Enzo in Italian and I kept it.
When I started at TM 15 years ago, I typed Heinz just so and didn't expect it to work without adding more numbers or characters. It worked because the name is no longer very modern, even in Germany, and is not common in England. However, I was born in 1959, so I am Heinz 59 and not Heinz 57🙂
The name Heinz reminds me of great adventures in simpler times (and our basic b&w TV)
As a yoof, I used to like watching the TV programmes about science with the presenter Heinz Wolff, and the fun stuff like 'The Great Egg Race'
