Spelling of name[edit]

Is it "Helmuts" or "Helmut"? Most of the sources I've read spell it "Helmut", without the 's'. Anyone know definitively which spelling is correct? --93JC 05:19, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

It is definitely "Helmuts" in Latvian which is his mother tongue. However, it does seem that in most sources that aren't from the .lv domain it is spelt "Helmut". --Jūzeris | Talk 07:45, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good enough for me. --93JC 22:43, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

Helmuts Balderis → Helmūts Balderis-Sildedzis — This living person has changed name. He is a notable retired ice hockey right wing as Helmuts Balderis, but is now chairman of the NASDAQ OMX Riga listed company (Olainfarm) as Helmūts Balderis-Sildedzis. The Latvian Olympic Committee mentions him as Helmūts Balderis-Sildedzis – Google: Helmuts Balderis, Helmūts Balderis Sildedzis. Philaweb 19:23, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

weak oppose an English language search using the suggested name [1] results in very few hits. The current name results in alot of English language hits. 76.66.203.138 (talk) 05:28, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
