Disputatio:Dwight D. Eisenhower

While I read this article I thought the name Dwight could also be latinized - after some research I found this one: [1]. Seems fitting to me, any other opinions? --Vulpes 15:49, 3 Ianuarii 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the flip opinion, also supported by [1], is that the name is a surname that just happens to be used as a given name, so by the rules wouldn't be translated—cf. Georgius W. Bush where 'Walker' is also originally a surname and untranslated. Still, though, as a diminutive to Dionysia corresponding to the Middle English Diot what would be the actual form you're suggesting? "Dionysiola"? —Mucius Tever 17:23, 3 Ianuarii 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right... I'd have thought of one link further, "Dionysius". But I guess it's OK the way it is. --Vulpes 20:35, 3 Ianuarii 2010 (UTC)[reply]
