Vis-a-vis the Danes' addition of {oA} to the alphabet to supersede
the use of double-a, I heard that when this happened (this century),
all people with names beginning "Aa..." got their choice of leaving
them as they were or respelling them with the {oA}.  Going with
the new letter meant moving from the beginning of the phone book
(and any other alphabetized list) to the end.
