I haven't decided whether to upvote or downvote yet. For now a quick note about the intended method of getting feedback: I don't know if A-H has the same number of people roughly as from I-Z. Moreover, there may be other issues if some cultural groups are more likely to have surnames that end in a letter from one part of the alphabet.
Sure. It's a quick and dirty solution. Supposedly, 'k' is the median first letter of last names.
Also, some people use more than one name (my legal name has me reading this one, but the name I use has me reading the other one - I wound up reading the other and skimming this), and some cultures don't use an alphabet enough like the English one for "A-H" to even make sense.
