yes, but that's not the name i picked! Aiyer looks much nicer than Iyer, i think (i don't think Ayer is popular among tambrams). the upward slope of the A is parallel to the downward slope of the y in many typefaces, especially when nicely kerned. in Iyer the I stands upright at an awkward angle to the y. don't you think?
