Her name is or her name was? [closed]
If someone has passed away do we say "Her name was Jane" or "Her name is Jane"?
I've found a multitude of sources, and they all seem to concur that the use of the past tense is preferable when referring to deceased people, even though it's a matter of preference. It's up to you really, but I'd recommend past. A person who no longer exists in consciousness has no possessions, sorry to be blunt about it.
