Personal names page and category names[edit source]
Currently, Category:Names Personal references Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). In keeping with LCSH the new category Category:Surname would be Category:Surnames.
LCSH "Names, Personal" has variants "Names of Persons" and "Personal names". The variants provide page and category names that are more natural and easier to read. Pages can be put in usable sort order by adding a hidden sort term in the wikilink. Example: the Wikipedia category Lists of counties of the United States by state includes the page List of counties in Alabama under A. Sort terms are boring to set up but make page titles and links much more readable.
The page Nepal Names, Personal could be renamed personal names in Nepal and still sort appropriately: in the personal names category it would sort by "Nepal" and in the Nepal category it would sort by "Personal names" and/or "Names, personal".
