Tim Wynne-Jones: Hello. My name is Tim Wynne-Jones. Actually, my first name is Timothy, but I've never liked that name. It means fear of God, and I guess I fear God just a little bit, so I just call myself Tim.
Wynne-Jones is a hyphenated name. That means there's a little dash between the Wynne and the Jones. That's because the Welsh people have very few names. There's just Wynne and Jones and Gwynne and about three others. So they add them together and make Wynne-Jones Gwynne-Jones and Wynne-Evans and Evans-Jones ... Like that. Anyway, that's my name. Bye.
