I've been wondering for awhile, but why is '''Riz Hawkwood''' the main page name for this character? I don't think there's any justification for choosing '''Riz''' over '''Liz'''. As far as I know, it's either stated or implied to be a shortening of '''Elizabeth''', and no-one in Europe would ever shorten '''Elizabeth''' to '''Riz''', as they clearly distinguish a separate L and R. Furthermore, I don't know of any Italian name matching '''Riz'''. See on BehindTheName for example: [https://www.behindthename.com/name/liz Liz] and [https://www.behindthename.com/name/riz/submitted Riz]. Also relevant is [https://www.behindthename.com/name/rizu/submitted Rizu], which appears to support '''Liz''' as the proper form. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:55, 19 August 2023 (UTC) | I've been wondering for awhile, but why is '''Riz Hawkwood''' the main page name for this character?

I've been wondering for awhile, but why is Riz Hawkwood the main page name for this character? I don't think there's any justification for choosing Riz over Liz. As far as I know, it's either stated or implied to be a shortening of Elizabeth, and no-one in Europe would ever shorten Elizabeth to Riz, as they clearly distinguish a separate L and R. Furthermore, I don't know of any Italian name matching Riz. See on BehindTheName for example: Liz and Riz. Also relevant is Rizu, which appears to support Liz as the proper form. ~ Celtic Minstrel (talk) 19:55, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
