Talk:John Julius Norwich

Requested move

John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich → John Julius Norwich – most commonly used name. These may be controversial because of interpretation of the naming conventions. Deb 20:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Discussion

Add any additional comments

I'm proposing a move for this page because the subject is a successful author, historian and media personality and is never known by his full title. See also Talk:Duff Cooper, 1st Viscount Norwich (his dad). Deb 20:50, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

comment: of course I know him as John Julius Norwich, or just as "Norwich", but that may be just only because I have half a dozen of his books in my bookshelf. But I have also heard/read him called as Lord Norwich. I am not sure whether the consistency of naming should still be preserved. Arrigo 07:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

My Word

He was host of the popular BBC radio panel game My Word! for four years.

For which period, exactly? 1976-1980, or...? --Jim Henry 23:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
