Talk:St Heliers

"Saint"?

Which map, newspaper, or anything calls it "Saint Heliers" except the first line of the article? On the principle of naming articles the way people name the subject-matter, this seems to be due for a move to the common spelling. Robin Patterson 05:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

NZ Geographic board has "saint" which implies that the topographic maps do too (I haven't checked):
