Technically, '71s full moniker name is BYU71, so its not completely accurate. I had the same thought, wondering if the user list page for "B" names was down when he was compiling his list. Apparently not. I was an intentional omission.

(Don't mind me. I'm just trying to be witty to make CP's list.) CP: I like your name. I've always been curious whether ceteris should be pronounced with a /k/ or an /s/ at the beginning. I think generally ceteris paribus is pronounced with a /k/, but in et cetera it's pronounced with a /s/. This makes no sense. What say you? ps. I alphabetized my list of suggested names for Marsupial's offspring, so ignore TD's scoffs. Ordering lists in informal settings is perfectly normal. Really. |

I've been taught that C=/k/. It works for me, since C. is used as an abbreviation for Gaius, and given the lunate sigma of Greek, it is easy to see why C could have adopted the /s/ sound. The letter K looks to me like a Greek influence.

I was taught it's with a /k/, but I dunno. Before aversion therapy eliminated certain inclinations, I used to daydream in Larry Wimmer's Econ class of starting a mobile gourmet dining enterprise named Cater Us Fabulous.

Previously, I knew of a place called "Garden of Eatin'," which I did not like so much.
