And how many single syllable, unambiguously spelled names are left, roughly? :)
In fact given
http://www.frivolity.com/teatime/Songs_and_Poems/english_is_tough_stuff.html
... and the common expectation of artfully mis-spelled names for
internet brands, spelling unambiguity is difficult. Given the letters,
we should roughly know how it sounds; but given the sounds, we can't
guarantee people will guess the official spelling. (Dopplr, Flickr,
Layar and others fit this pattern...).
