pronunciation

I tend to take a middle route. If the commemorated name is short and
common, such as "Jones", I do not latinize it, so as not to sound too
pedantic. If it is otherwise (as in "carlesii"), I pronounce it as I
would any other name.

Well, wouldn't gatesii then be gah-tess'-ee-eye. The letter e in
Latin is not pronounced ee, but eh, with a breve diacritical mark
over the e--it is a short "e" I DO remember my 6th, 7th and 8th
grade Latin.
