Batthyány

[edit]

I suggest, we should rename the article to Ödön Batthyány-Strattmann. Batthyány is the correct spelling of his surname, while he was a 19th-century Hungarian individual, thus the English variant of his first name is secondary (see e.g. László Batthyány-Strattmann). Of course, contemporary English-language newspapers and articles used his surname without acute accent and his English-variant first name (just like in the case of Louis Kossuth, Francis Deak etc.), but this anachronistic and archaic. Modern publications use his native name. Edmund, 6th Prince Batthyány-Strattmann is also acceptable. --Norden1990 (talk) 22:04, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
