Name of article[edit]

seemed to me WP needed a page for sorting out WWRB ... like whether his name is Ball or Rouse-Ball and WTF the WW stand for ... so i ~~got the ball rolling~~ took the plunge. Kwantus

This should be moved to a more appropriate title... W. W. Rouse Ball ? That will work... Dysprosia 03:46, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)

surname(s)[edit]

Walter William Rouse Ball was the son and heir of Walter Frederick, of 3, St John's Park Villas, South Hampstead, London.

Walter Frederick, or Walter Frederick Rouse Ball, or Walter Frederick Ball, or some other name?

Do the English learn at someone's knee how to recognize an unhyphenated compound surname? —Tamfang (talk) 00:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
