Misspelling

Is this person's name really spelled like that? The biography link seems to suggest so... PaladinWhite 22:43, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean the capitalization? If so, then yes, everywhere I've seen it it's the same. --Eyrian 23:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The capitalization and double-F. PaladinWhite 00:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In English, the double-f is a special case, and shouldn't be capitalised (although some modern-day holders of such surnames do, especially now databases are set up to automatically capitalise). Other examples are fforbes (eg. Audrey fforbes-Hamilton from To the Manor Born), fforde (eg Arthur fforde). Gwinva 07:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The double-f actually was originally a capital F; in secretary hand, the capital F looks identical to a double-f, so capital F was often misinterpreted as ff, and this was preserved in some surnames even after secretary hand fell into disuse. Vorziblix (talk) 05:40, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article Word-initial ff explains this. 98.224.227.56 (talk) 23:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
