Maybe someone wondered already why I always speak of "Mrs.Taitz" when most people here just say "Orly". I only try to keep some distance. I might even say "Frau Zahnwältin Dr. Svetlana Auerbuch AKA Dr. Orly Taitz ESQ."
This isn't aimed specifically at you, Zorbas, and maybe someone's explained it before and I've just forgotten it (but I also didn't find anything on search that really explained it so that I understood) - but how is it that we seem to know her first name was really Svetlana and not Orly? Is there a record of this somewhere, or is it more that we're making an assumption based on some biographical data (which - IMO, anyway - wouldn't be all that different than the birthers who insist on calling Obama "Soetoro" - YMMV)?
Someone from Odessa (which is not exactly a goy city) told me no one would have been able or would have dared to register a girl with the name "Orly" in those days. It is after all, clearly a Jewish name and an excuse to disallow it would have been easy to find: to the Russian ear, it sounds like a masculine adjective, referring by the way not to an owl, but to an eagle - or a hero.
The guy was less sure when I asked whether it would have been possible in Moscow, Chechnya or Birobijan (3 other places in the Soviet Union which had a lot of Jewish inhabitants* until the 80s).
We explained that Svetlana and Orly more or less mean the same thing (the bearer of the truth) and found info on someone actually called Svetlana Averbukha, born in the Eastern part of Ukraine when it was still part of the Soviet Union and now living in Israel as Orla Averbukha. I am not giving a link, because the Jewish ancestry site where I found her, also mentions her address.
Of course, we could out-Taitz Taitz by claiming she stole that woman's identity.
*= but all three in Russia, meaning Taitz not correcting someone who had called her "born in Russia" may refute all that.
