Name change to "Carl Linnaeus the Younger"?

[edit]

Why is this article called "Carolus Linnaeus the Younger" when his father's article is named "Carl Linnaeus" not "Carolus Linnaeus"? Surely it would be more logical and less confusing if they had the same first name since Carl the younger was named after Carl the older. How about naming this "Carl Linnaeus the Younger" instead? Most sources call him Carl and not Carolus by the way. Esuzu (talkcontribs) 15:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
