That's not really a similiar vein though is it? Now if you were talking about a "ride" in the other sense, the "vein" could be similiar. But that's a whole 'nother thread.

How about K-Ray-G
EDIT: Actually that doesn't work - it just sounds like the yank way of pronouncing it
- i have no idea how to spell it phoneticallyEDIT AGAIN: How about Craig like Haig, as in Earl Haig or seeing as you're part dutch now Hague, or even vague - god this is easy now
