| | Posted: | | | | Good morning, Sirs, just a quick poll to see your opinion, no need for elaboration: Should the existing names "January LaVoy" and "Erika LaVonn" be changed to "January La Voy" and "Erika La Vonn" (adding spaces behind the small capital A)? credit shot  Love, bbbbb | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

| | Posted: | | | | If you compare the names with Christopher Evan Welch, there is a definite larger gap on your two names. Therefore I personally would split them. |

| | Posted: | | | | I believe the space between is because of having the A of LA in a smaller font, so I would go with LaVoy and LaVonn. |

| | Posted: | | | | Spaces for both. | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with VirusPil: while there are spaces between the La and the rest of the name, I believe that is simply from the font change for the small letters, because the space is not as large as between the other names. I would go with LaVoy and LaVonn. | | | If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

| | Posted: | | | | Absolutely no space. Draw a straight vertical line from the right edge of the A to the left edge of the V and they would appear to touch. The space is an optical illusion because of the shape of the letters.

I never considered the optical illusion factor. I did as you suggested, you are indeed correct, and have changed my vote. Thank you and a big green arrow for teaching me something new. |

(Alt + left or right arrow in Adobe applications.) Or any other desktop publishing application. Just in case someone else is thinking it, these names could possibly be correct with a space and the person typing them in thought the space would look like a horses leg (industry term  ), so they did not add more space. But, the bottom line is there wasn't one added to the screen credits. | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

I am in total agreement with your comment w.r.t. the online, and when I look at the screenshot I see LaVoy & LaVonn. So I don't know where that leaves us <shrugs>. | | | | Chris |
