Template:Personal names → Template:Anthroponymy – The broadest meaning - scope - of the content; the very study. Chicbyaccident (talk) 23:54, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, per understood common name. The visible title was changed, so I reverted that back to "Personal names and anthroponymy". Randy Kryn (talk) 01:53, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It's about personal names, not anthroponymy. If it were about anthroponymy, then a lot more links would have to be added to the template. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 02:54, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the vast majority of users aren't going to understand what that means. Plus, the name is already in use by WP:WikiProject Anthroponymy. cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 15:53, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Initials

Odd that we don't have an article about personal initials. At present, Initial (disambiguation) has a entry for it but it redirects to Acronym (aka Initialism), which is really not the same thing at all. Temporarily, I have created Given name#Initials, which is really not satisfactory but I needed a target for a {{distinguish}} (from Initial, an oversized letter to begin a paragraph).

Can anyone write at least a stub? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:01, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
