Definitely. This was just a silly typo. That said, I actually *do* imagine
"Geir" is pronounced as "gear" - I don't know for sure as I never heard
anyone's authoritative pronounciation of your name - not many Scandinavians
around here, y'know :-)

I have some empathy for you re this; growing up in Croatia with a Hungarian
name that just sounds weird to Croatians also served as a basis for some
*very creative* mock-poems from my classmates. Not to speak of the fact that
those that met my name before actually seeing me were usually surprised that
I'm not a female when they finally met me in person; names ending with "a"
are traditionally (with only few exceptions) female names in Slavic
languages...

Cheers,
  Attila.
