What does the official list of placenames say about this form?Panu Petteri Höglund 11:17, 24 Eanáir 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Irish Statute Book [1] the official Irish language name for Douglas is Dúglas. MacTire01 11:53, 24 Eanáir 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, then we must let it stand. The problem is, that "Douglas" is usually the anglicization of "Dubh-ghlas" - in modern orthography "Dúghlas" - i.e. a compound word (dubh + glas), where the second constituent element should be lenited. But if it is officially "Dúglas", then "Dúglas" it shall be.Panu Petteri Höglund 15:32, 25 Eanáir 2008 (UTC)[reply]
