Kentucky - 3-8-99

Have you tried alternate spellings, namely Shannon? I have Shannons
and have seen your spelling suggested as an alternate for this one.
The logic seems to be that Shanahan, even when spoken correctly,
would sound like Shannon to someone expecting to hear that name,
especially if the 'h' was all but silent in the pronunciation. Just a thought.

Have a good weekend.
