John Bayard → John Bubenheim Bayard — per official congressional biography User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 05:56, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult. According to [1] he dropped the name Bubenheim. There seems no need to disambiguate, as he's the most prominent John Bayard, and if we do add the middle name he dropped then we risk confusion with his son, see [2]. But I note that this source adopts the opposite convention and drops the middle name of his son. No vote as yet. Andrewa (talk) 16:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That last source seems to be in contradiction with the article - the source says son John was born to the subject and Margaret Hodge in 1795, while the article (which fails to mention son John at all) says Margaret died before 1781. I think the facts need to be sorted out before we worry about whether to include the middle name in the title.--Kotniski (talk) 14:29, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
