Spelling?

Googling "Krastyo Hadzhiivanov" brings up only one hit: this article. Googling "Кръстьо Хаджииванов", the Cyrillic equivalent, brings up 753. This does appear to be a notable poet, but this does not appear to be the standard Romanized spelling of his name. Unfortunately, there may not actually be a standard Romanized spelling-- I've found two instances of "Krst'o Chadžiivanov" and one of "Krst'o Hadžiivanov," all on Slovak websites. "Hadzhiivanov" would, in fact, be the háček-free phonetic spelling of the latter. Perhaps someone familiar with Bulgarian-English transliteration could weigh in?

Regardless, this poet does not appear to be very well-known outside Bulgaria, so the input of Bulgarian Wikipedians would be much appreciated. Both the English and Bulgarian pages are completely devoid of sources. --Fullobeans (talk) 20:30, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In response to myself: I just came across the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Cyrillic) page, which suggests using the Streamlined System for the Romanization of Bulgarian. According to the tables in Romanization of Bulgarian, "Krastyo Hadzhiivanov" is indeed the correct spelling according to that system. It would still, however, be useful to compile a list of alternate spellings in the interest of finding sources and further reading. --Fullobeans (talk) 22:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
