Talk:French frigate Sibylle (1791)

Name accuracy? ybi vs iby ?
The mythological namesake is "sibyl", "sibylle" in french, Σίβυλλα in greek. The "correct" order is indoubtly i, then y.

Some of the names in the article bear a seemingly incorrect order, as in HMS Sybil. Is the name accurate (and I guess it is), is there an "official" mistake nobody wanted to correct at the time, or an earnest different spelling in those times ?

I think the article should mention the different spelling and their origin, if known. The purpose is, beyond simple information, to prevent editors to honestly "correct" a seemingly incorrect spelling. Sxilderik (talk) 14:43, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
