Random Fact of the Day:

Old English had a separate letter for the 'th' sound, called thorn. It looked like a modern capital 'Y'.
So on an 'old-timey' sign, like "Ye Old Shoppe", the word 'ye' is pronounced just like our modern word 'the'. :)

Actually, It's Traditionally Spelled with a K.

K is a fairly uncommon letter in the English language. Because it's uncommon, it draws the eye and is becoming more and more popular in names. So, if you like the letter 'K', but cringe at the thought of trend-ifying a traditional 'C' name, here's some names that are "supposed to be" spelled with a 'K'.
