My last name compressed to 3 characters. I tried my wife's last name and it was 3 characters, then I decided to add the accent to it that normally gets dropped in an English-language context and it compressed to 2. Adding first names, I was 4 characters and she was 5 with and without the accent. William Shatner went to 6 characters. Barack Obama went to 2. William Shakespeare also to 2.
Right, I guess your last name is the importance of all Hoseks worldwide, albeit vis-a-vis some chunking of the word, so it has to compete with the importance of other Hos es like hospitals and so on.
