Can someone help me with the translation on this profile? Is this another son of Ragnvald that Medlands doesn't know about http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORWEGIAN%20NOBILITY.htm#Ragnvalddi...?

Bjorn, you know very well my intention was no disrespect. I spend a lot of my time carefully maintaining Anne's naming choices because they are so accurate.
But, as I was brought to this line today by a user's confused query, and as the Norwegian 'About Me' does not help English users to automatically check that 'Tore Teiande' is 'Thore' not 'Torf Einar',
and as this site has more English than other users - it seems pretty useful to add in 'Thore' to the naming field.
Changing the Display name was my way of not messing with the profile's actual naming. I did spend some time trying to figure out what would be the best way to do it, and I remain very happy if you have a better way of including 'Thore' in the naming to avoid mis merges. .
A Curator note would do the job too. But as that would have usurped Anne altogether, I thought I'd leave it to her to do once she'd seen the discussion.
