My name can be spelt two different ways, they sound exactly the same, I answer to either 
So my original thought on it is correct, I thought is was.The op is very clear.
I don't know what your original thought was.So my original thought on it is correct, I thought is was.
Ok, don't get caught.
Ok, so I took your bait and took another look...I don't know what your original thought was.
It's how you spell Hambuger, nothing more complicated than that.

And none of it is capitalised to give a clue.
Until you explain what a 'hambuger' is I shall assume you're lying to try and save face having spelt hamburger wrong.![]()
Same for me. When I was young, I was taught to raise the "c" and put a line under it - probably the same purpose as the two dots? This practice disappeared, now I write it with the "c" on the same level as everything else.I'm a Scot not Irish - even though my surname starts Mc.
It was just how some registrars - especially back in the day (of my grandfather's birth) - recorded a Mac surname. Indeed - and as my father advised me of at a very young age - the 'c' in my 'Mc' is actually raised with two dots under the 'c' signifying the a has been dropped. I> used to write it that way - but no longer. That said - you wanna see my first name and surname written in Gaelic - as my dad would have written it when younger.
Maybe this has died out due to keyboards and computers not having a character for it?Same for me.

Typewriters didn't have one either.Maybe this has died out due to keyboards and computers not having a character for it?
What did you go with instead? Eoghan?My wife wanted to call our son Padraig. But having seen and heard many interviews with Mr Harrington having his name mangled I couldn't have it inflicted upon him.
3. People who are here on a wind up. The guy who can't spell hamburger being the most successful so far.Totally, and this awkward thread just looks desperate.
Michael, nice ans and easy.What did you go with instead?
I still write my name with the c raised - though I haven’t put dots under it for years / in fact I think with us it’s one dot as on my grandfathers headstone.Same for me.
