    I've no idea what they call him day to day but I'd have to presume its considered some kind of 'cooler' name for a guy named Andriy :p

    Call the ****er Kotelnik

    Andriy is how his name is spelled in Ukranian. They call him Andreas in Germany where he is based. You could call him Andrew in the UK I guess.

    Remember Andriy Shevchenko? They both have the same name.

    I've heard he's a devoted Christian, maybe that's why he decided to change his name? :?
