Desmond Hall: Hi, my name is Desmond Hall. D-E-S-M-O-N-D, last name Hall. My full name is Desmond Andrew George Hall, but most people in Jamaica call me Peter, and I don't know why, but it's a nickname I got from childhood and it just stuck. This is one of the interesting quirks with Jamaica. You often get called a nickname and it sticks, and you won't get called by your first name or your middle name, not even your last name, but you're often referred to by that nickname that people have given you.
