I don't think spelling counts too heavily in an SSB contest as long as
what is in the log is pretty dog gone close to what was sent.
You could use a name like Rocky, Bronco, Gold, Silver, Bear, Coyote,
Fox etc. Have fun with it. Whatever you do try to keep it the same
all contest. People seem to remember the interesting or odd name.
I recall using Griz when in Montana, Thor, among others.
