But if you decide to throw together some piecemeal concoction, well, expect people to screw it up on occasion. If his name were simply Juan, I doubt SI would have spelled it Jaun Summers.

]]> <![CDATA[Sports Illustrated Can't Spell]]> @Crookednose: Read Freakonomics, much? I do believe, in this case, at least, that Juan is a name typical to Latino households, & in its Americanized form features a prefixal Da for intensification.

... Or would you prefer everybody to be named Breleigh (N.B.: Brett Favre named his second daughter this, & as a 'Sconsinite I am risking ostracizing by calling hims out) & Conor?
