Kloepper" gets mapped to "Kyle Klopper (with an umlaut over the 'o')".
Why? Kyle is also American.
I emailed him to ask, but it bounced back.
I've also emailed a few Chinese and Japanese guys to ask for Kanji.
By the way an American might still want their name umlaut'ed.
Sure. And if they spell it that way, great. You unilaterally decided to change Kloepper.
I'm not concerned with why. I'll put it the way they want it.
I would assume that the way Kyle wrote his name in the papers he authored is how he wants it to be spelled.
My ex was American with a French surname without diacritics, but she started putting an acute accent on the final 'e' after I started writing her name like that.
Ah so maybe Kyle will see the error of his ways if you fix his name too ;-)
