[edit] Real name, not pseudonym

Although the article claimed that Dafydd ab Hugh is a pseudonym, according to Dafydd and others the name is real:

Dafydd ab Hugh IS MY REAL NAME. It's the name on my drivers license, my passport, my DD-214, my college degrees, and my eighteen published novels.

I will change the text accordingly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ylee (talk • contribs) 13:27, 1 May 2006

He was formerly David Friedman, if memory serves, so the error is forgivable. —Tamfang 23:08, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
I suspect that the gentleman in question is not a Welsh speaker, otherwise he would not have chosen "ab Hugh" as his extremely pseud surname. He would know that the correct form is "ap Huw". Doh! Baggie 01:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
And what was his father's name? Somehow Hugh Friedman seems unlikely. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
