May-05-08    Whitehat1963: Is he Ameri-can? May-06-08    hitman84: Nope. He just has an American sounding name. May-06-08    alexmagnus: Yes, He Can! May-06-08    ahmadov: <hitman84: Nope. He just has an American sounding name.> He is definitely a Turk with his name and surname. Interestingly, many Turkish names can be used for puns... I never thought anyone would read this as "can" as an English word, instead of "jan" as Turkish... :-) May-06-08    hitman84: <ahmadov>Yes I got know he is a turk. I know a player called Emre who plays football for Turkey. The captain of the Turkish football team has a nice name for puns. :) Another pun of a footballer E-Lan ManSiege May-06-08    hitman84: Here is something for Blackburn Rovers fans.. Kerimoglu toogay May-06-08    alexmagnus: < I never thought anyone would read this as "can" as an English word, instead of "jan" as Turkish...> The beautiful thing about English language is that when you write something it's up to you how you pronounce it. That makes plenty of room for pronounciation-based puns which are impossible in other languages. May-07-08    ahmadov: <hitman84><The captain of the Turkish football team has a nice name for puns. :)> Do you mean Hakan Sukur?
