Our precedent is basically that player names aren't a "tracked" thing, rather we simply identify players by whichever means is most convenient. (It should in theory be possible to change how someone else is named on the Registrar report if everyone persistently calls them by a particular name.) As such, any unambiguous attempt to name someone is likely to work, regardless of what the spelling is. (There was a period of Agoran history where we had a player named "Wooble" and a player named "woggle", and occasionally people got confused and ended up producing a name somewhere in between. I can't remember for certain how that worked out, but I'd expect it to be "as long as it's clear who's the poster was trying to name, it works". This situation is much less ambiguous.) -- ais523
