Talk:Charlie Smirke

move to Charlie?
Wouldn't this article be better titled Charlie Smirke? I think he was always known as Charlie rather than Charles and it's normal to use the name by which the subject was best known by rather than the "proper" name (cf Willie Carson rather than William, or Pat Eddery rather than Patrick). Looking at the articles which link here, most of them have piped Charles Smirke|Charlie Smirke links. Any thoughts?
 * I think that would be a good idea. I was in two minds over Charles/Charlie. I used Charles for the title, then called him Charlie all through the article, which seems a bit odd. Looking at the other articles "best-known" trumps birthname 95% of the time. He is only my second "human", so I'm still learning. Thanks for your advice as always. btw I finished off the redlinked Derby winners on Saturday. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 21:33, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Always happy to advise - I'm in awe of your articles, I'm just a fiddler with links and hatnotes really!--Bcp67 (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
