Politeness is nice, but following the very clear traditions are even better. There is a reason there is the section on how to ask questions: similarly spelt names in different cultures may have different meanings, histories, and even pronunciations. Could you indicate which culture, ethnicity, religion, or language the name comes from? Is it male or female? If it is from a language written in a different script, can you describe the original spelling.
