Accented last name[edit]

His name is occasionally mentioned with an accent, as in Peter Paul Dobrée, cited by the The Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in Britain and Ireland. On the other hand here is an 1839 book that calls him Peter Paul Dobree. It seems to be 50/50 across about two centuries. --- Possibly ☎ 07:43, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Possibly: I hadn't seen this when I edited the article to add the accent to the name, and definitely didn't intend to pre-empt any discussion here – I just saw a question in the Teahouse and acted based on the sources that are in the article now, which are 2/3 +accent. If you (or anyone else) thinks it would be better to return the article to its original state until there has been a bit more discussion about it, I don't have a problem with that. In any case, the article title should agree with the spelling in the article, whether that is with or without the accent. --bonadea contributions talk 08:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bonadea: I left this note so that someone like yourself, who knows what to do, would take care of it! I was not really sure what to do, and you have taken care of it nicely. Thanks. --- Possibly ☎ 08:15, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
