I was thinking about the way my family spells and writes it name. We are McIntyre's and my father, grandfather and his father have drawn two small lines under the "c" in McIntyre. My grandfather doesn't know why his father taught him to write it like that and it's been passed on without anyone remembering why or for how long we've been doing it.

Has anyone else seen this done with names? Anyone know why?

Thanks.
