| 551.1 | Is it a nickname? | NYSBU::CHANG |  | Fri Jul 06 1990 10:30 | 8 | 
|  |     I've never heard of it - only lived in New England states in USA.
    
    Is Beat your whole name or is it a nickname for something else?
    Yes, I have heard of the feminine forms but never knew anyone with
    those names either.

    Not at all, it's my full surname.
    
    In fact it's: Beat Urs Rascher
    
    Impossible to pronounce it in english but i'll try to explain:
    
    Beeh-at -  Ours - Raahsheehr
    
    perfectly, isn't it?

|  |     Beat,
    
    you're right. I travelled a lot but I've never heard the name Beat
    anywhere else than here in Switzerland or Germany. But don't be
    sad. It's a special name though. BTW nobody can pronounce my name either.
    
    Trotzdem en sch�ne Tag! (For all in english: have a nice day)

    Beat,
    
    I never heard the name Beat in France.
    Do you know the origin ?
    
    In France the surname for B�atrice is B�a. (it's my surname).
