The meaning of the phrase "der hieß doch so...nicht?"编辑

he was called yet so ... not? (... isn't it?) But that's a phrase concerning a male person, not a female. Pay attention to the point, that "heißen, hieß, geheißen" is one of the very rare German verbs with active construction, but passive meaning. The active usage "ich heiße ihn ... (I name him ...) is old-fashioned.Suggest edit
