The cost to society to change the name field in all those databases to alphanumeric is just too great.

Parents think that if they give their child a unique and special name, the child will become unique and special

Yeah, it'll make Junior feel real special when he gets pants, stuffed in a locker, and have his head flushed in the boys' restroom every day for about 12 years.

yeah, go for those “unique” names. studies have shown that names that are difficult/ immpossible to pronounce or will otherwise embarass the teacher tend to be ignored in classes, and fall behind.
