hi everyone. I'm a newbie here. I'm looking to figure out how to write/represent "Abigail" and "Jack" in the Ogham alphabet. "Abigail" looks to be pretty straightforward, but "Jack" is tricky has there is no "J" or "K" in the alphabet, so I'm curious how to do this. Pick letters that are closest in sound? Translate to Gaelic first and then translate to Ogham? Any help would be appreciated, please.

I've been doing some research on this but coming up a bit empty. I did find a translation site - http://nuacht1.com/ogham/ - but I'm not sure how accurate it is, to be honest.

I sincerely appreciate any and all help! Thank you!

So, here is what I think each might be? I'm more confident in the Abigail one than the Jack, because of the "J" and "K" thing.

Abigail - http://nuacht1.com/ogham/?q=abigail (imagine the diamonds to be lines straight through like a "+"

and this is apparently Jack - http://nuacht1.com/ogham/?q=jack
based on this one, as compared the actual letters, this looks like "acc," but I could be, and probably am, wrong.

Just wanted to post this follow up. Any help is greatly appreciated. :D
