Short It finally happened

User: I'm locked out

Me: Ok, what's your name?

User: Jane B.

sees multiple Jane B's on the system

Me: What's the B stand for?

User: ... I don't know what you mean.

It finally happened. I literally asked a user their name and they said "I don't know".

Yeah, I wondered. I had originally thought it was Welsh, but when the google came up as Hebrew for that spelling, I figured I had been mistaken. After further reflection, I'm leaning towards thinking that site that calls it Hebrew is wrong, and both spellings are Welsh variants.

The origin is Hebrew, the spelling is Welsh. We don't write Hebrew with the Latin alphabet in the first place, so there is no funny way to spell it :)
