Is it always the case that if you spell some with Q like quest, does a U always follow it?

Make sense

whether they are English or not they look to be all names on a quick glance....names dont need to fit rules
for eg
eBay - why not start with a Capital and put it in the middle?
Qinetiq - MOD contractor no use of the "u"

Fair enough but QinetiQ is just an obsolete way if spelling Kinetic, as in kinetic energy.

that my point!!

its the same as Karrimor (Ruckscak manufacturer) of Carry More

names need not make sense, or fit rules hence Wiki list is a fail imo because they are all names given to something
