Franciszka vs Frances
She was born as "Franciszka", not Frances. It is common for Italian publications to use Italian names, and English sources tend to repeat them after them; however I very much doubt it she has officially changed her name from Polish to Italian. She is known as Franciszka, not Frances, in the monumental Polski Słownik Biograficzny.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Very fair. I also notice the interwiki links are all to "Franciszka". Interesting that the Holy Family Sisters resources say "Frances" though. I would think they would want to be as accurate as possible, but then again she may have gone by Frances in Rome, where she spent a lot of time. Alekjds talk 20:16, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Religious bios need more clean-up; for example many cardinals were known on Wikipedia (until recently) as if Cardinal was their second name (ex., ). Saints and blesseds are, I admit, a more difficult choice (ex. Raphael Kalinowski, not Rafał Kalinowski). I prefer Polish original names, but as I noted, they are often reffered to using their Italian (or Latinized?) names. Perhaps WikiProject Saints could offer more advice w/regards to naming.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 21:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
