Walter Suffield vs. Walter de Suffield

[edit]

Is there a strong rationale for using the page name "Walter Suffield"? I don't have a copy of Handbook of British Chronology to check, but the two cited webpages both refer to him as "Walter de Suffield". @Ealdgyth: I'm guessing you'll have a view. Thanks! -Stelio (talk) 16:11, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

Just as much rationale for using "de Suffield". There really isn't a "right choice" with this period - they are used interchangeably. HBC does indeed use just the plain Suffield. The Actuary article isn't really in the field of history (the author is a "retired actuarial consultant"), so their usage isn't compelling. To help matters along - the ODNB uses "Walter of Suffield". (see here). So I don't see any real compelling reason to change the name ... it's pretty much evenly split among the choices. As long as there are redirects (which I didn't check on) ... we're fine. It really isn't that unusual to have this type of variation in names between sources. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:18, 6 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
