I'm also confused with names in German (correct me if wrong, please) containing, for example 'ö' and being displayed as 'oe', or some of the Russian names.
It took me a while to figure that, for example, Stephen Langasek is also Steve Langasek. Even 'Dave' in my own first name, David. I might be in an ignorant environment, but people shouldn't assume that some things are just obvious to *all* the people around the world. It is obvious for me that short name for Francisco is 'Paco' or 'Pancho', or 'Pepe' for José, or 'Beto' for Alberto, Humberto, Roberto, is it obvious and clear for you? > This is probably not really a useful contribution to this discussion; > carry on.
