Here [1], both father and son are called George, somewhere else I saw the father's name spelled Gheorghe and the son's George, but on the gravestone both are Gheorghe. Quite confusing :)--Mycomp (talk) 14:51, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, yes, various sources refer to them in various ways. Tentatively, based on what I've seen, I say we should call the son George and the father Gheorghe, but I'm not firmly attached to that. - BiruitorulTalk17:21, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
From my end, it looks like the guy was also set apart from his dad as "Gheorghe Gh." (we should come up with a way of explaining to our readership what the deal is with these "voiceless" patronymics). Anyway, I've since added the redirect for the redlinks I added under that assumption, so it's all neat now. Dahn (talk) 17:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
