Wie nennt man den Namen, wenn man über einen abwesenden Mann spricht? = What name do you call someone who's not there?

Wie nennt man den Namen, wenn man über einen abwesenden Mann spricht? = What name do you call someone who's not there? | Name News | Scoop.it
In Norddeutschland würde man ausschließlich „Knud Bielefeld“ sagen, wenn man über mich in Abwesenheit spräche.
Clare's insight:

This...is a German language thing that's new to me (so do correct me if I've got this wrong, meinen Deutschen Freunde). So when you're speaking about someone who's not present, there are several options. You could say something like:

 

"Have you seen Knud Bielefeld?"

or "Have you seen the Knud Bielefeld?"

or "Have you seen the Bielefeld Knud?"

or (very rarely) "Have you seen Bielefeld Knud?"

 

...depending on where in the German-speaking countries you are.

 

I suppose the closest we come to this in English is saying "that Clare" - but we wouldn't say the surname before the first name.

 

The data is from the Atlas of Everyday German Language, which is compiled from an online survey. There are links to the latest edition and the latest survey in this blog post.
