Wrong.  I spelled it correctly according to English rules.  The fact
that you or your parents violated norms isn't my problem.  It's yours
and you have a simple solution which could prevent that from every
occuring again.  Yet, you're attempting to hold me accountable for
for you or your parents mistake or aberrant behavior.  That's wrong.
You have no right to do that.

True.  And, English has rules for capitalizing and abbreviating them.

> The rules of English (or any language) are irrelevent.

No, they aren't.  You can't legitimately expect others to know
or respect the aberrant capitalization of your name.
