Yes, I know. All of my life my name has been spelled this way. When I was little I really hated it because I couldn't have a personalized license plate for my bicycle...but then my parents told me the story of my name and since then I really like it.

When I was born, my Dad owned a special car.

It was a one-of-a-kind race car (although it was intended for european-style Grand Prix street racing, so it was legal to drive on the road in California). This car had a plaque on the front that listed the names of the designers, and thanks to the internet, here's a picture of that plaque:

I got both of these pictures off a website with pictures of the restoration of the car, but today I can't seem to find it to point you to the rest of the great pictures they had there, but here's a picture of the car, although you may find as I did that an annoying redirect forces you to navigate rather more than you'd like to catch a look.
