>>Kourtney (as a Courtney, this greatly offends me)

yeah, regularly C names spelled with Ks really bug me, moreso than any other alternative spelling. I especially hate Khloe.

and Mitzi is a Hebrew name going back many years, so I don't think of a dog's name when I hear it.

I know a Klaire.

I'm someone who likes K's a lot, but that one just... no.

I like:
Janson
Glenn
Kourtney (as a Karlie, I like when names traditionally spelled with a C are spelled with a K... within reason. I like things like Katherine, Kaitlin, Kacey and my name of course. Ones like Khloe just look idiotic to me, though.)
Franki
Winter
Marcy
Tessa
Kirby

Some of those - WOW!

I know a Kourtney. I'm a Sarah, and that offends me! LOL

I'm also part of the 1985-1990 pool. ;-) Class of 2005, woot.

I know a Zosia (pronounced Zuh-sha), so it's not that weird to me. It's Polish, and the English variant is essentially "Sasha".

I'm curious as to the location of this small town. Is it rural Midwest? Coastal New England? The South?

Ah, interesting.
