Help with a last name!
I have an old friend with the last name Zuchowski. However, I don't know if that is the correct spelling of thier last name. I once had them on my myspace and they accidentally got deleted. Now I am not sure how to spell their last name to find them again.Could you give me some spelling variants to this name that might be the correct spelling. Thank you!

It's probably spelt with a dot over the initial Z (¯uchowski), showing that it should be pronounced something like a French J. There are some in Poland, according to www.herby.com.pl who spell the name as you have it, but far less than with the dotted Z. Anyway I think that it could be a result of sloppy spelling or handwriting.
Bear in mind that a female with the surname would have a different ending, i.e., -ska.
