Apostrophes are a deal. There’s no hitch or pause when you encounter the apostrophe. could be J’amarr, Ja’marr or Jama’rr. Same shit.
Hyphenated names can serve to acknowledge a family name important to your upbringing.
Nah.
It just means the parents were concerned enough to allow the child to use phonetics in their first name. It provided them a sense of freedom and expression.
Now, I realize it may be significant in other cultures, I doubt a jacked up first name in general is carrying on a family tradition. Sometimes it can be cruel result of a kid not being able to spell in the first grade and someone comes up with something that works in terms of how it sounds.
Or sometimes you just name your kid "Nah-Shon" because that is what you say to them all the damn time and then it gets shortened with no apostrophe and it sticks and shit.
I am extremely pleased we have zero (0) hyphenated name players.
Even the apostrophes appear to be under control, so that is also a good thing.
