Hi all!

Sorry for the delayed reply. I had some back-straining renovating to do 
and was rewarded with some connectivity issues on top...

So, to summarize, this seems to be the way to go:

For aesthetic reasons I'd also go with transliterated first.
I'd like to point out that we already have nicknames in parentheses for 
a few entries. BTW, I'd like to see more people's nicks there, so one

So how about this format then:

"Name Surname (Nickname) - squiggledisquig"
