Neil Gaiman: Hello, my name is Neil Gaiman. I've heard my name pronounced various different ways, Gaiman is very popular, but it's definitely Gaiman. It's the kind of name that started off life in places like Poland, as Haiman, and then when it came to England, the customs man changed it to Gaiman. And then my grandmother completely changed the spelling because she didn't like the way they spelled it before. So ... So that's it, Neil Gaiman.
