[recensere] Melburna

Genere (urbes feminina nomina sunt) et sono vocis, Melburna nomen melius Melbourno, sed paginam de Melbourno meliorem esse censeo. Urbs quoque Melburna vocatur in pagina de Australia. Igitur nomen Melbournum mutari debeat. Renzokuken 15:33, 8 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

Dictionnaire Latin-Français des Noms propres de Lieux ayant une certaine notoriété principalement au point de vue ecclésiastique et monastique (1897) has the nominative proper name Melburnum, but doesn't specify that that's the name of the city in Australia. In Vicipaedia, Melburnum is already in use for this city. ¶ In Esperanto & Latvian, the name of the city appears to be Melburna. IacobusAmor 16:41, 8 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

Hic urbs Melburnium appelatur. Fortasse haec pagina recta est? Renzokuken 18:45, 8 Aprilis 2007 (UTC)

[recensere] Melbournensis

Whatever the story with the noun, the adjective Melbournensis is well-established and has plenty of googleable attestations for the perciform fish Gerres melbournensis (also known as Parequula melbournensis), the fly Sigaloessa melbournensis, the bee Leioproctus melbournensis, the beetles Harpalus melbournensis (one of several names available for Gnathaphanus melbournensis) and Teraphis melbournensis, and the extinct eogastropod Australonema melbournensis.
