Most of my riders have been switched to "no nationality"...
I can't understand : Aimé DeTous or Richard Vaincre could perfectly be French names. Aimé or Richard are clearly French first names.
The only one I cannot complain would be Berg Steiger, since Berg is not a German first Name but rather scandinavian...Even though, for having lived in North Germany, you can clearly meet Scandinavian names over there !
Ok, all names are Play of words, but None is a abuse in any sense.
Whx not allowing these ? You don't like creativity ?
Kindly let me know.
Cheers

Hi Tompot
It's less about first names but more about family names. According to my knowledge, neither DeTous nor Vaincre are realistic french family names. DeTous just means "of all" and vaincre is a French verb meaning "to win" or " to beat somebody" Hence, both have been made stateless. If you have a serious source that proves that both names exist as french family names, the riders will get their nationality back of course.
Berg Steiger as a name is not realistic (-> Bersteiger, you get it I guess). And Berg is a family name, but not a realistic first name, even less in this combination.
I didn't mean to say it. But I meant what I said.
