Page name shift.

I'm Inclined to move the page name to Northern Ireland Commissioner for Children and Young People, which seems to be the one officially used (and which incidently better explains the acronym NICCY which they themselves seem to promote). The rationale is that while exactly this name appears now and then in the press, and other variants also appear, I've found no prevalence for another name form, and in particular didn't find "Commissioner for Children and Young People, Northern Ireland" outside wikipedia contexts. Therefore, IMHO, the official name is not 'challenged' by any generally better known name form, and we in such situations should prefer the official form.

Among the other variants I did encounter are "Children and Young People (Northern Ireland)" (in a House Of Lords Speech), "the children's commissioner for Northern Ireland" (in The Guardian's Net campaigner appointed children's commissioner), "(my current job as the) Commissioner for Children and Young People in Northern Ireland" (in William's prise reception lecture, A Parallel Universe - Children and Young People's Love Affair with the Internet.), "Northern Ireland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People" (in Ombudsman for Children pays tribute to Nigel Williams), and "Commissioner for Children and Young People for Northern Ireland" (together with NICCY and the official one, in Northern Ireland Government news release).
