German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who hopes to defeat Chancellor Angela Merkel in a September election, has shortened his first name for the campaign to "Frank," a newspaper reported Sunday.
To make the Social Democrat's name shorter, sound more modern and down to earth, his campaign has dropped the "-Walter" at rallies, on websites and in election literature.
