It appears that you have recently developed an interest in German names, if your recent contributions can serve as any indication. That is nice. However, please do proper research about what usage to list. In the case of your recent contributions: the proper spelling is Plattdeutsch, not Plattdeustch. Also, BtN prefers to use the English term wherever possible, so in the case of Plattdeutsch, please use Low German (which you will see is already an existing usage). Also see:

Also, if you want to link to other names in your submissions, simply put the names in brackets. Like so: [Dietberta] (doesn't work on the message boards, only in the entries themselves).

Thank you and good luck!
