Å is a good letter in many ways, but not for names. Just my opinion, and I do have around 30 years of personal experience :P

- spraak 7y agoMy HN username should be språk but I couldn't register it that way.
- towb 7y agoWhich is usually a thing even on local sites for some reason. Nothing huge ever happened because of my Å name, but it piles up over the years. Biggest issue was when a very confused man tried to check me in at an airport and had no idea how. Took maybe 20-30 minutes and the solution was "AA". Probably not as much manual typing these days, this was 10+ years ago.
- spraak 7y agoÅh where was that?
- hestefisk 7y agoLanguage? :)
- spraak 7y agoYes. And you, horse fish? :D
- dancek 7y agoI can see where you're coming from. My native language (Finnish) also uses letters with diareses, mostly ä and ö but also å. But I did make sure my kids' names are easy to spell and pronounce in English. A name like Ääliö would be just asking for trouble, in many senses. ;)
