I bablefished this article, just to find the whole "translation" of his name, not only "nihei". I only understood, "nihei" was "working hard" on this, to be released or something, and that for about 5 times. It took me a while to get this one...

Now I allready see T-shirts coming on written "two bottle working hard" in it. A nice insider for the next convention. at least if you don't stand in front of him, when he signs your poster, or even better: One should try to have him sign this shirt!
I think, he would recognise the connection. I mean, he can surely read english, and who wuold not have his japanese name into the different languages just for fun.
However I think it coud be quite impolite. People making fun of your name is not the best thing for a mangaka to find at a convention.
