Benjamín Ndong → Benjamín Edú – Benjamín Edú is the way he is called by the Equatoguinean Football Federation (FEGUIFUT). Also, national-football-teams.com (used source in the article) call him that. Note: Benjamín Edú Ndong Ndoho belongs to the Fang people. They have their own naming custom, which differs from the Spanish one. Firstly, a Spanish given name (in this case, Benjamín) (this was added after the arrival of the Spaniards to the region); secondly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) (in this case, Edú); thirdly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) from his father (in this case, Ndong); lastly, the name of a relative (deceased or not) from his mother (in this case, Ndoho). Sources about the Fang naming customs (the Obiang family does use it): That is why FEGUIFUT call him Benjamín Edú and not Benjamín Ndong.--MonFrontieres (talk) 23:42, 27 July 2019 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Oppose - use in English-language sources appears to favour 'Ndong' rather than 'Edu' (see Soccerway and FD and ESPN. GiantSnowman 07:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
