Normally reliable sources FORIX (subscription site, so I can't post a link) and
ChicaneF1 spell this man's surname as "Nelleman" (i.e. with one 'n' at the end), as do
StatsF1,
historicracing.com,
racingsportscars.com and
racing-reference. However
oldracingcars.com (also usually very reliable),
ESPN and Mike Lang's Grand Prix! spell it as "Nellemann" (i.e. with two 'n's at the end) as do
various other websites. His name also appears to have two 'n's as written on the side of his cars
here and
here. I'm tending to think two 'n's is the correct spelling. Other opinions?

I've never heard of this spelling before, but the names on the cars and particularly the autographs that are available swing it for me. Surprising that this apparent mistake has persisted for so long.

If it were asked, I would have said 2 Ns (from memory) but
Motor Sport use one
thus as does Small 1994.

Certainly when I started this article, I'd have taken the info from Small. I think it was the only book I had back then. I wonder if that surname can be spelled both ways, leading to some confusion.

The Marlboro Grand Prix Guide: 1950–82 (1983) Jacques Deschenaux, page 249 gives 2 Ns also.

The pictures decide it for me, too. Sources can get it wrong, but I have to think the team wouldn't.

Based on the car images, I'd say this article should be renamed to have the double-N (with the single-N spelling as a redirect, obviously)--

OK. there seems to be a consensus for two 'n's, so I have moved the article.

The spelling with two 'n's is the correct one. He is Danish and Danish, just like German, spells Mann with two 'n's. "man" is the Dutch version and names using that form will be found in the Netherlands and Belgium (and FWIW South Africa).
