[edit]What is a reader more likely to know: the last name or the exact spelling of the first name? Clarityfiend (talk) 07:46, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- In some instances, either or both. In any event, they can find what they are looking for at a glance since both sections are alphabetized. These are also name articles, about the definition, history, and use of a name. Distinguishing between different spellings and which is more common is done in other articles of this type.
