SearchResearch Challenge (4/8/20): What are the names?

Names aren't as simple as you'd think... 

As we know, having the right name for something can be very important in doing your online research. (We've talked about this before: terms, part names, geo and bio names. We'll probably talk about it in the future too.)    

This week's Challenges aren't that hard, but I hope you have fun with them.  
Here are some names (of people, places, and things) that might not be what you think!  

1. Who is Allison Guyot?  Why this is a memorable name?  What does Allison Guyot look like? 
2. Who is Franklin Dixon? 
3. Who wrote the Nancy Drew mysteries?
4. What is the name of this symbol?     ÷       (yes, I know it’s the division symbol… what’s the REAL name of it?)
5. What's the name of this other symbol?  Ꮬ
6.  How about THIS character?  ⌘
6. What’s the difference between these two characters:     
                        /             \

Have fun while you keep your physical distance!  
And let us know how you figured it out!
