Why are people with the first name Stuart listed?[edit]

Why must people with the last name Stuart be listed? There are many notable people with first name Stuart that have been removed and I don't understand why.--The_stuart 23:52, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If they have articles, put them back. 219.77.98.166 17:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surely there are hundreds of notable people with the first name Stuart (or any other given name)? Is this really necessary for a disambiguation page?--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 06:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They should be listed on Stuart (name), not on this article. Jim Michael (talk) 18:32, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling[edit]

It says in the article the name is commonly "mis-spelled" Stewart, then describes how the original spelling was Stewart, and the spelling Stuart was adopted by Mary, Queen of Scots, while married to the Dauphin of France, to ensure it fitted with French orthography. This is inconsistent - both spellings are correct and I have known many individuals whose names include either. Perhaps instead of "mis-spelled" the article should say "is sometimes spelled Stewart". I mean, seriously, the reason for the "mis-spelling" given here could be used to support the assertion that Stewart is the correct spelling...

?[edit]

According to the Stuart Green article I don't see Young head of the Green family being relevent, rather a comment on him being a footballer, I also doubt he is anything like a unifyer of the world.

Stuart McDonald (b. 1988) ?[edit]

The list of Stuarts has a link for an article about Stuart McDonald, but the article cites him as being an editorial cartoonist who has been working since the 1960s. He couldn't have been born in 1988.

I don't know when he was born. But it couldn't have been in 1988. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackintel3 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, I've fixed this. Rnb (talk) 14:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origins[edit]

I was taught by my parents, and other sources, that my name derived from the same origins as "steward" - which, considering that the royal house of Scotland adopted this name, isn't all surprising. I can't find any references to support this at the moment, though.
