Disputed Names

Names where the reference sources genuinely disagree, and where picking a winner would misrepresent the state of knowledge. Each page sets out the competing accounts and says which is better supported, rather than choosing one and stating it as fact. Most name sites have no such category, which is a decision rather than an absence.
