Does it fall into one of the falsehoods programmers believe about names? https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/
Actually no. In fact, I think most people who thought for a minute would realise names like mine exist, it's just that sometimes people working systems don't think for a minute ;)
The number of scripts I've seen that would break with an O'Neill or O'Brien is too high. Worse is some people don't get it when pointed out.
