Yes.

Germans are a bit touchy on this. There are a bunch of two-letter or two-digit combinations you can’t have on your license plate, for example. Somemore far-fetched than others. At some place I recently heard about they use two-letter initials (extremely collision prone, but whatever), except for people like Nadja Schmidt.

It’s definitely silly, but otoh I guess all culture is silly…

I also had relatives that didn't make it out of Auschwitz. I could not care less.

The silliest.
