That's an excellent point, and you're absolutely right.

I don't think there are any names that start with X, normal for an American family, anyway[.]

It's not 'normal,' but there is one name - Xavier - that crops up occasionally. Using 25 out of 26 is probably still appropriate, I agree.

An astronomer, a physicist and a mathematician (it is said) were holidaying in Scotland. Glancing from a train window, they observed a black sheep in the middle of a field.

"How interesting," observed the astronomer, "all scottish sheep are black!"

To which the physicist responded, "No, no! Some Scottish sheep are black!"

The mathematician gazed heavenward in supplication, and then intoned, "No. In Scotland there exists at least one field, containing at least one sheep, at least one side of which is black."
