There is numerous entries written as Ely th. Which I would stake my life on is abbreviated form of Elyzabeth. Your program will not allow the th to be entered other than with a capitol T so a name of Ely Th suggests something entirely different.

As the instructions state you must enter as written this is not an accurate result.

    You need to read the project instructions. Some batch allow you to expand abreviations and some don't.

    You can convince the program to allow for the lower case "t" by typing Th and then going back and deleting the T and inserting a lower case t.
