Common name?
editI've moved this page back from "Jacob Strutt" to its former title, "Jacob George Strutt", as I not only don't see any evidence that the former is the common name, but don't see anything to indicate that it is ever used at all. The sources in the article use the full form, as do the titles of two of his books; elsewhere he is "J.G. Strutt". In Wikipedia, as elsewhere, it seems that we commonly use the full forenames of German people – Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe rather than "Johann Bach" etc. I suggest a WP:RM if anyone still wants the page to be moved.
