I used to think it amusing people would change the spelling of their names or drop letters so as to make the name less familiar and obvious. To stand out from the crowd. Then the internet came along and singular names with no other users have become the gold dust of web addresses, internet searches and businesses. Having a unique name makes email addresses a doddle, makes it easy to stand out 9if it has less than 12 letters) and takes away the problem of having to think of a name that makes a point and is still ‘yours’.
