Name of article

I am not too knowledgeable on the subject, but I reckon the title of this article is a bit too casual. Anyone else care to comment? - Bennyboyz3000 08:18, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I really just modelled the title on the wording of Canada's name and the form of Sexuality of William Shakespeare. What do you suggest? CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 08:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I support the proposed merge. Yechiel Man 19:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It seems clear that she took her father's surname, "Darc" (which was sometime later misspelled as "d'Arc". It is also true, evidently, that Arc was not the name of a place. The problem with using that surname is that it will appear wrong to most eyes. If I were making the decision, I would go with "Joan, the Maid of Orleans".97.64.209.102 (talk) 21:03, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
