HelpRe: Names with no (English) vowels
in reply to a message by erb816
This reminds me of the way they often abbreviated common names, in the archives of an organization I worked at - William would become Wm or Wlm, Thomas would become Ths or Thos... those are the ones I remember.
Also I think ancient Egyptian names had few written vowels, or maybe NO written vowels?? Let me check.... Ok, for example, the Pharaoh Thutmose's name was written ḏḥwtj-ms. I seem to recall reading a lot of ancient Egyptian names written in a similar way.
I think vowel-less names are eerie and cool. They sort of give me uncanny valley vibes, but in a fun way.
T9C is interesting. What's the story behind that one?
