Ham Seo-Hee → Seo Hee Ham – Per WP:UCN, which establishes that Wikipedia uses the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources, and per WP:EN, which establishes that the title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources. Most reliable sources in English used within the article use Seo Hee Ham, only one uses Ham Seo-Hee. Sherdog has her listed as Seo Hee Ham as well. A search engine test shows the following results.

It is my interpretation that there is an established English spelling and, therefore, name order as established by WP:NC-KO does not apply and, even if it does, WP:AT has priority. Jfgslo (talk) 18:18, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
