The name Brian Kernighan rang a distant bell, and from my bookshelf
comes The Bell System Technical Journal, July/August 1978, Vol 57, No.
6, Part 2; which includes:
The C Programming Language
by D. M. Ritchie, S. C. Johnson, M. E. Lesk and B. W. Kernighan
-and-
Document Preparation
by B. W.
from my infinite storehouse of useless facts:
grep and sed and really acronyms for global regular expression parser
and stream editor.
Awk was named for the 3 people who developed the language: Alfred Aho,
Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan

You have to pick a name that cannot be mispelled.
Otherwise you're going to get squatters at Nebleto, Nebletto, Nablettoes
and so on
