So whereas a number of years ago, everyone would have spelled it correctly straight off the bat, now everyone gets it wrong 9 times out of 10 by spelling it in any of 4 of the more modern ways.
As for my youngest, her name is very uncommon, but also a very old name. I have since come across 5 others with the same name and no 2 are spelled alike.

Isn't that funny how names are becoming more and more individualized? Even the exact same sounding names are not exactly the same as parents will spell them differently.
Soon it will be the case where each person's name will be a entirely new creation just for them.

I have a hard enough time doing that with my own name, and that's with half the people getting it right the first time around!

What does all this say about the direction our society is moving? ULTRA-individualistic = ME ME ME?
Maybe we don't need to read that much into it?
Or what's your take on it?

I know that your name is the grounding on which we all base our individual identities, but some people do just take it oo far.
And what about people that come up with the truly weird names like Frank Zappa and his daughter Moon-Unit????

Completely forgot about Roger Rogerson - no wonder he was so pissed off and became corrupt.

Things like Buck Rogers and Roger Ramjet sure didn't help!

Here's Wikipedia's version.
"Roger Ramjet is a patriotic and highly moral but not overly bright superhero (kind of a jet age Dudley Do-Right), who is typically out to save the world, with help from his Proton Energy Pills ("PEP"), which give him "the strength of twenty atom bombs for a period of twenty seconds".
On government missions assigned by General G.I. Brassbottom, Ramjet encounters various nemeses during his missions. Typically he is caught, and must be rescued by his crew of sidekicks, the American Eagles (named Yank, Doodle, Dan and Dee [a play on "Yankee Doodle Dandy"]). Although his Eagles appear to be children, each of them flies his own individual ramjet aircraft expertly, along with being obviously much more savvy than their leader."

Kinda sounds llike American Dad (but Stan Smith doesn't have super powers)

And if it wasn't for the proton pills I imagine Roger would just be a fitter looking version of Stan!

So your name's on the list, is it?
I'm gonna guess its "Jack". Am I right?
