My wife's maiden name was "Smartt" -- if that were my last name, I'd have to name a son "Alec" so that his teachers would be warned from the moment they saw it on a roll sheet: "Smartt, Alec"

My dad always wanted to give the the middle name 'Albert' just for the initials

I knew a gal in High School whose first name was Tabitha, with middle and last initials A and B respectively -- not only did she wear the inevitable nickname "Tab" she had a gold-plated soda can tab that she always wore as a charm necklace.

You mean what does "JFK" stand for? It is John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

I liked its previous name of "Idlewild" better. Always conjured up images of natural countryside in my mind.

Why is an old thread being dreadged up for something that is so very off-topic? Come on, time to either close this thread or move it along back on track.

twiart, may I suggest that duplicate, off-topic posts are not helpful.
Should you wish to discuss the comparative merits of two devices, then start a thread in the appropriate forum section and provide some evidence, rather than mere assertion.
