[edit] his full name
I had hoped someone would unearth Kerckhoffs unearthly full name. Congratulations, Matt! ww 14:37, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what his parents were thinking...also, I have my text justified, and his full name does horrible things to the layout! — Matt 14:39, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] More gloating
Came across this:
- "Just for the record, the only verifiable/reliable on-line reference I found on biographical details on Kerckhoffs is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auguste_Kerckhoffs." — [1]
Good work! — Matt 00:30, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)
[edit] pronunciation
When it comes to the foreign name, especially French name, I sometimes hesitate to pronounce it. Can I read his name as Curk-hof? Is there anyone who can read his name correctly? I appreciate any input. — stegano

That's how the Dutch would pronounce it, with the first syllable stressed. The French would pronounce it with a silent 'h' and the second syllable stressed. FYI: in Dutch Kerckhofs means: "of the graveyard". I'm not quite sure all those first names are really spelt with hyphens. Magere Hein 04:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
