Template talk:Nickname

For case of grammar, "proper name" or "legal name" is the correct term to use for describing the opposite of a "nickname", rather than "official name". Since we are talking about both place and people (and possibly artifacts), then "proper name" should be used to describe the difference between nickname and something with an actual name. Legal name applies only to a person's birth name or appears on a birth certificate.Baggins 17:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
