Hmmmmmm, I see. Tis a puzzlement. I like your honesty. No system seems
'perfect'. On the otherhand, it does seem that our much loved Spanish
relatives took the 'feels good' approach to the limit creating a chaos beyond
what other countries have done.
Our attitude in the US, in the main seems to be that the Grand Question
'what's in a name' is answered by 'a name is what you make of it'. That's a
here and now philosophy also in the extreme that trashes any real interest in
genealogy.
What's the answer? I don't have it but kicking around concepts here will
help sharpen our thinking. It will take some time to really come up with a
useable answer.
