Hi, it's been 7 years since [[Special:Diff/1131954|this edit]], but now it is very important, all of a sudden. Do you, by any chance, remember the origins of this spelling? Was "Kahn" based on any written source or purely phonetic? Thank you in advance for your time.

: Thanks for confirming. It is exactly as I expected. I just wanted to make sure I did not miss some source in my search. The reason I was asking (as I'm sure you have guessed) is that with everything we've learned recently, "Khan" seems to be a spelling more in tune with ''[[Fallout (audio story)|Fallout]]''{{'}}s Yasmin's Punjabi roots, which are explicitly mentioned in the story. I did some quick digging at {{w|Khan (surname)}}, {{w|Kahn}} and {{w|Kan (surname)}}, and only one seems to be consistent with the character's provenance. Not really the conclusion I would have preferred myself, but here we are... I guess I'll go and put a rename tag then. Don't think it's clear enough for a speedy rename.
