Androis..? Whaur'd Androis come fae? How no juist uise Andra? Bazza 17:30, 6 Januar 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

A'm guessin that it's Andro + genitive -is (modren Scots/English 's). Mibbe there's some historic reference tae sicna name. But A think for a modren-like uiss we shuid uise Sanct Andra(')s or something seemlar -- or e'en mibbe juist St Andrews. Mendor 19:05, 6 Januar 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

Juist St. Andrews - thon wey its mair conseestant (cf. the airticle eventually cryed Edinburgh). - Duncan Sneddon

A juist took St Androis fae the inglis wiki airticle. A thoucht it soondit a bit strange, but A didnae hae ony ither idea. A think that St Andrews would be the best name. Scroggie 18:52, 7 Januar 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

Mendor's richt that Sanct Androis is juist an Aulder Scots spellin. Ye'll find rowth o thon alang wi St Andros an St Androis in the DOST. Seein that the ordinar modren Scots spellin o "Andrew" is Andra [ˈɑn(d)rə, ˈo̜n(d)rə] an that fowk disna for ordinar say sanct (tho that micht juist be a fantoush Laitin spellin) but saunt [so̜nt, sɑnt], the modren form. A wad threap we shoud uise Saunt Andras. Thon's soundit [sɪnt ˈɑndrʌz] gaun bi this, whaur the [sɪnt] is juist an unemphatic soondin o saunt. Juist flit the page tae Saunt Andras an re-airt this ane tae it. Jimmy 00:05, 8 Januar 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

So, whit daes aabodie think? Saunt Andras or St Andrews? (A wouldnae hae a period efter the St acause this isnae whit's done in Breetish Inglish, houaniver this isnae Inglish o any sort). A masel prefer Saunt Andras acause the airticle aboot the Saunt himsel is cried Saunt Andra, altho there is talk ower at that collogue about his name. Mibby we need should decide that at the same time. Scroggie 17:34, 8 Januar 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

I'm still thinkin St Andrews. We ne'er stap faishin about Scots spellin, specially wi place names (compare the amount o havers on the Edinburgh collogue page compared wi the length o the actual airticle), forbye whan fowk come on here they'r mair like tae uiss the spellins they ken. Syne we dinna hae one staundart Scots names fer thir touns, uissin the offeicial names wad surely bet better (efter aw, this is also the policy wi buiks, albums etc.) an hae twa-thrie Scots variants alangside the Gaidhlig in brackets in the first sentance. - Duncan Sneddon 11:22, 26 Mairch 2008 (UTC)

Aw whit's needit is the maist mensefu spellin. In this case Saunt Andras. St Andrews can be reairtit nae bother.

Edinburgh wis a bittie mair complicate acause o twa-three soondins o Edinburgh sic as Embro/Embra, baith likely endin wi schwa an Edinburrie. In thon case it wis decidit Edinburgh wis the maist mensefu spellin the ithers bein reairtit. Jimmy 15:38, 26 Mairch 2008 (UTC)[Replie]

Aye, Ah gree wi Jimmy. We can aye reairt fowk nae bather. Bazza 10:46, 27 Mairch 2008 (UTC)[Replie]
