Final answer:

The distinctive part of a name is written with emphasis, and in English, the [k] sound is represented differently in spelling based on surrounding letters and vowel length.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most distinctive part of the name is written to show emphasis and uniqueness. In English spelling, certain patterns exist for representing the [k] sound, especially when it is combined with other letters. For instance, in words where [k] follows a consonant and is in turn followed by an <le> at the end of the word, the [k] is often spelled <ck>. Additionally, if there is a [k] right before an <le> at the end of a word and a vowel with strong stress right before the [k], the spelling changes depending on the length of the vowel: if the vowel is short, the [k] is spelled <ck>, but if the vowel is long, it is spelled <k>.Reviewing different spellings, it is noted that letters that spell [s] can be underlined and are spelled in three different ways, as in the words 'asked', 'century', and 'coldest'. Furthermore, the letter <c> always spells the [s] sound when followed by certain letters.
