Default I love greek letters in science

If you're studying chemistry or physics or math you'll notice a lot of ancient Greek letters are used like Pi, Π, and Beta, β. I like to write words on the beach with these letters. I don't think anyone who sees them knows what's going on. These are in English but with Greek letters.

Who's this?

Βατμαν

I hope I've got this one right.

Ha ha, I can read them, sort of, with guessing and google.

How about Ροβιν to go with your first example? Although according to the link below the Greeks didn't say β the way I thought they would.

The next example should maybe be written.

Here's the guide I was using.
