Um . . .

Have you ever checked under the "Comments" section of names in the database? Often, people will put the prn there. Also, the ones Akis listed have the prn listed in their BtN entries.

This website is based on the etymology of names; it's not like BNW or Babycenter where any supposed "meaning" will fly and you can make up your own spellings and prns. That's what the database is for.

(Not trying to be mean, I suppose you just didn't realize these things.)
