The story of Jackquline
Jacqueline came to America from French, and American parents often spelled it the way they said it. Jackquline shows the result. English can write a k sound with c, with k, with ck or with q, and this spelling uses all of them in a row, ck and then q, where French writes only cq. It also drops the e between qu and line, and no record says whether that was a choice or a slip that stayed on the certificate.
