[Heb-NACO] Use of email form of name?

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Rachel,


This question has come up before.  Here is a communication from  Hebnaco 2004:


I asked CPSO about this and here is the discouraging reply (plus my
query).  But still I think they can be helpful in cases like the one
Yossi cited--to justify a romanization--and maybe in others.  --Joan

No, I don't think I can quite swallow a name in an email address to
justify a non-roman script heading when there is a Hebrew script form on
the chief source. (Email addresses don't always really convey a person's
preferred form--mine certainly doesn't!)
--Diane

According to LCRI 22.3C, a prominent roman-script form of name in a
Hebrew or Yiddish book can be used as a heading.  Do you think a name in
an e-mail address qualifies?  For example, would an e-mail address of
the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] justify creating a heading "Lovins,
Daniel"?  Or how about [EMAIL PROTECTED] that justify a
heading "Biella, J."?  (I'm assuming that these forms would be
compatible with the Hebrew-script forms of name on the chief sources.)

Thank you for your thoughts about this.

Joan



There have been other discussions of this nature I believe on PCClist and also within my own unit.



The key thing that was noted is that a form of a name found partly or fully in an email cannot be used as a preferred form of a heading although it may help in providing vocalization.


best, Heidi

Subject: [Heb-NACO] Use of email form of name?


I have a Hebrew book by Dr Eliyahu Lanyado (  ?"? ????? ??????). There is no explicit Romanized form of his name, but he uses "elilaniado" in his email. Can I establish his name from his email? I couldn't find him in Facebook, LinkedIn [there is another guy with the same name], etc.



Thanks,



Rachel
