LNAB for Cham profiles

+8 votes
157 views
A minor problem, we only have 3 profiles affected by this so far: 2 profiles "Cham" and 1 profile "von Cham." They were related to a lot of important families, the Stauffer, Welfs, and Zähringer among them, so it could conceivably become more of an issue eventually. Their lead names are Diepold and Rapoto, consequently the German literature calls the house Rapotonen or sometimes Diepoldinger-Rapotonen.

Unfortunately, Charles Cawley uniformly calls them Dietpold and Ratpoto (in fairness, some Latin sources do add the -t-) which has made it into profiles as Ratpotonen. I would like to propose to go with the German Rapotonen (without the Diepoldinger) instead. After all, it's a German family.

This question was asked more than three months ago and seems to have fallen through the cracks.

Does any one disagree with using the name "Rapotonen" for this family?

It appears we have limited people with knowledge of the German families.  I certainly have none, but I had hoped with the tags I added back in February that someone would see and respond.  Since Helmut is Pre-1500 certified, I would suggest that he proceed with his recommendation.
