..........tell you what, why don't we trawl the web for low-MOS sports websites and Twitter and do a bulk move to clean all these South Africans of this totally un-British accent? Why Britishize just one Afrikaaner? why not give a name-trim to all of them? In ictu oculi (talk) 18:33, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added the accents in the lead and infobox and added a note to the lead to explain that the accent is not always used. Could people check that and tweak it as required -  is it right to say that is an Afrikaner name or would Southern African be more accurate? Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:20, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a template :Template:Native name that might be of help (if the article does get moved to Morne). That template would tell readers that his native name is Morné, even if the article title doesn't have the é. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

text: And in answer to the question about other people called Morné, most of them seem to be called Morné in at least some English language sources. Whereas Morkel doesn't appear to be. I'm not disupting that his "proper" name is Morné, just that Morne is his WP:COMMONNAME in English language sources (including how he chooses to call himself on Twitter).

replies: text: Morkel is, including by Wisden. No one's yet suggested a more official source than that tbh. I'll take Wisden over how he choose people to be able to quickly write his name in an app. Sorry, I often agree with you and started with an open mind here, but there's far too much convenient ignoring of key sources by some of the replies in the section above. It's clearly mixed with Morkel. Blue Square Thing (talk) 17:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
