[edit] Brandsdorfer

The rav's name is Brandsdorfer, not Bransdorfer. בראנדסדורפער is how I read it last week. Anyone able to confirm? If nobody objects I will change the article's title sometime. --Daniel575 09:08, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Changed it. --Daniel575 22:12, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, his first name is Myer, not Meir. Who calls him Meir? Everyone I know calls him Myer. Redaktor 21:47, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Isn't that the same? Just slightly different pronunciation? Mei-ir vs May-ir. --Chussid 12:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

It might be the same to you (or even me), but it isn't the same to someone who has never heard of him before and reads this article. There is a sort of tendency to Anglicize the name מאיר as Meir, but that is inappropriate in this case. I really think the article should be moved to Myer Brandsdorfer Redaktor 12:22, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

How about Meyer Brandsdorfer? 'Myer' just doesn't read nice. --Chussid 21:47, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Meyer is better than Meir, which is plainly incorrect. But I prefer Myer, which leaves no doubt as to how it should be read. Let's leave this open for a while so that others can comment. Redaktor 22:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Meir is proper English —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.84.235.236 (talk) 02:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

Meir isn't English at all. How about Max? or Mervin? Now that would be proper English;-) --Redaktor 12:03, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
