ArchivesRe: Name update #118
in reply to a message by Mike C
I just noticed Marion has it's own entry for men from the surname separate from Marion the woman's name. Would you consider doing the same for Evelyn? Evelyn was also an alternative spelling of the woman's name Eveline while Evelyn for men was from the surname. And Reese? For girls Reese comes from a surname too. Does it only matter if it's archaic gendered usage?

Generally I only split names into separate entries if it's helpful for clarity. I don't think Evelyn needs this. Reese should probably have a note that it can be used via a surname. As for Marion, perhaps it doesn't need separate entries...?

Marion is the odd one out I think, might make sense to combine.
