Change Bryan Anderson's name to something more usable

The Issue

Councillor Bryan Anderson's ethnic name is difficult to spell. Why weren't his ancestors considering the usability of his surname when they chose it? Why did his parents give him a weird spelling of his first name?

How can we be expected to recall if his name is spelled Brian Andersen? Byron Andreessen?

“All I’m saying is if we look through a usability lens, can we accomplish the same kind of acknowledgment with a more usable name?”

He should change his name to something easier to remember. Shorter and less complicated.

"Brander."

Brander is spelled exactly as it is pronounced. It is pronounced exactly as it is spelled.

It's a bit of an unusual name, which may lead to some confusion, but thankfully, it can also be shortened into a more familiar form as well.
