::Yes, I was also thinking about our standard for hobbit maiden names. However, in the case of real-life people, from what I can find reference books tend to list people under their married name (e.g., Mabel is found under "Tolkien, Mabel" in ''The JRRT Companion and Guide''; other examples are [[Jane Neave]] and [[Edith Tolkien]]). Do we need a standard, or is it enough with a case-by-case principle? --[[User:Morgan|Morgan]] 00:26, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
