Antun Sorkočević → Antonio Sorgo – This person was a Ragusan diplomat, and a writer. His official name was Antonio (di) Sorgo. He worked in France, where he was assimilated, and known as Antoine Sorgo. "Antun Sorkočević" is a Croatian neologism, unsuitable. Z oupan 21:24, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. "Antun Sorkočević" generates 10,600 google hits, while "Antonio Sorgo" generates 216 hits. Since a lot of the first and second page hits on the second name are derived from an "Antonio Sorgo Ensemble", I find it unlikely that that is the more commonly used name in reliable sources. As for Sorkočević being a Croatian neologism, Croatian has been spoken in the Republic of Ragusa far before Sorkočević was born, so it would be good to prove your assertion.

 * Google Books searches for "Antun Sorkočević" 1775, "Antonio Sorgo" 1775 and "Antoine Sorgo" 1775 indicate you didn't do basic homework before proposing this move? --Joy &#91;shallot&#93; (talk) 17:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
