Spelling variants

There are two common English spelling variants for his last name, "Eikhenbaum" and "Eichenbaum" I just expanded the article using the former. It seems to me to be a closer transliteration, gets slightly more google hits, and seems to be used more in the English language library catalogs. I am going to move the page to this spelling. Please discuss if you disagree. DVD 02:21, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
