Well, it matters to me. Compiling a database of pro games, I want to be able to find all the games of Rui Naiwei, without having also to look for Lui NaiWei, Lui Naiwei, Lui Nai Wei, etc. etc. Having a set way of entering the names means that the user can search much more easily. Best wishes. |

Best wishes. On the other hand, it would be useful to me as a user of your database if I didn't have to know how you decided to spell it, and could search for alternate spellings as well. I was rather confused for example, to find that the database had none of Lee Sedol's games. I'm sure you have good reasons to construct it the way you did, but ideally it would be good to be able to enter any of the commonly used English spellings and have the same games turn up. |

Daal, you can check on the Names Dictionary for variations of an individuals name. There is also an article by John in the Encyclopaedia on Korean names. Best wishes. |
