My Iranian ex would insist that "sh" and "s" are not the same letter. Her name
begins with Arabic-Farsi "sheen" incidentally. And she was born in Shiraz.

Often times I use numbers for private reference to names, especially if I knew
several people by the same name. And I go by the Hebrew alphabet, which of
course has different letters for "s" and "sh" I would write in a journal entry
"2112" for the name Sheila. The other numbers would be changed for different
people with the same name.

Gives me some really interesting results for the fifty-odd women and girls named
Jennifer. Including my cat.
