Talk:Siobhán Haughey

Siobhán or Siobhan?
as you moved the article, may I ask have you any source that Siobhán rather than Siobhan is the usual spelling for this person? It's very likely that her Irish father will be aware that Siobhán is the Irish-language spelling, but that would not necessarily imply that it is the spelling she usually goes by in her daily life in Hong Kong and/or the United States. All the article's current cited sources seem to use Siobhan, as do Irish news sources including The Irish Times, the Irish Independent , and RTÉ. jnestorius(talk) 18:23, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Siobhán is the correct spelling of the name in both Irish and English. It is, of course, the Irish version of the name, Joan. Spelling it without the síneadh fada is simply incorrect as it affects its pronunciation - especially to us native speakers / bilinguals. When I see "Siobhan" in the media, I assume the copyeditor is an anglophone, or their equipment just doesn't handle diacritics. I guess this is a long way of saying that the reliable sources may trend towards being incorrect, but what can ya do? - A l is o n  ❤ 22:36, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * And lo and behold, her official Instagram account uses "Siobhán" -  A l is o n  ❤ 22:41, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Your first point is utterly wrong-headed as you will quickly find out if you try to move the articles on Isiah Thomas, Dwyane Wade, Jhonny Peralta to the "correct" spelling of their forenames. Compare also Talk:Sean Ryan (Irish judge).  includes plenty of articles, not just R from name without diacritics. Your second point, OTOH, is valid and I have added it to the article as the requisite missing reference. jnestorius(talk) 09:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hey everyone, I've seen how her name was written throughout the article - from that I just moved the page title to the Irish spelling. Personally I think using accents makes names more interesting — oi yeah nah mate amazingJUSSO ... [ɡəˈdæɪ̯]! 12:07, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
