latine o'cahain?--Ioshus ^(disp) 03:04, 19 Octobris 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The more correct Latin version would be Cahaenus. That is a Latinization of the original Gaelic. -KedemusKedemus 04:03, 17 Septembris 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geminus?[fontem recensere]

It is OK to Latinize proper names (add Latin endings, change a couple of the letters, etc.), but proper names should not be litterally translated. Tom/Thomas, even though it means twin, should not be translated into the Latin word for twin (geminus). Latinization is the common convention when it comes to names, but literal translations just make things awkward and unnecessarily confusing. -KedemusKedemus 04:03, 17 Septembris 2007 (UTC)[reply]
