I’m curious about variant spellings for names (ie Jason / Jaycen). When did it start and for what purpose? 19th/20th century immigration led to variant spellings as old-world names were recorded differently depending on the ear of

That’s what gets me about this whole thing: two law professor parents. A gaggle of young, incredibly wealthy people who all had their tickets pre-punched with prestige schools, A-list jobs like Jane Street, etc. I have to admit, this story
