middle name: Simon or Ferdinand?[edit]

@Ralbegen: I notice you created the page wwith CM's middle name as 'Ferdinand', which is how the ODNB has him, but later altered the middle name to 'Simon'. Why? Ferdinand looks better supported in the sources. Dsp13 (talk) 15:45, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Dsp13:, I think I changed it based on the Debrett's listing. Sadly my Times subscription has lapsed, so I can't check those right now to assess the balance of sources (and now Wikipedia mirrors make it a bit trickier to do so in general than when I initially wrote the article). As Debrett's was about his honours and therefore style (and hence a publication more liable to get his name right), I think it'd be reasonable to keep it Charles Simon, but if you think Charles Ferdinand is better supported I'm happy for you to go ahead and make the change.
