I am sure that when he was in kindergarten and had to learn to spell his name, he was thanking her for her kindness.

I know Nancy Christy. I post with Nancy Christy. Nancy Christy is a friend of mine.

Babel Fish says the Portuguese translation of symphony is "symphony".

I think his great-grandmother got very creative with her spelling. :roll:

And let me say what a pleasure it was to transcribe for the contestant with the oddest name in the history of the show! :P

I'd say she was Welsh or Czech, except there are too many vowels present.
