I think I posted about names a couple of months ago, about how historically accurate names rarely make it into books. Roger. Harold. These are not what we would consider sexy names. I don't mind using more updated names, but you're right -- the funky ass spellings annoy me. And the apostrophes in sci-fi, yes. Jar'hiur. Wir'nthur. C'oesse. Etc. Nuff already!
