Regarding Elif versus Eljif⬇️

On his passport it says Eljif, but he goes by Elif on Instagram (if he prefers that, then good enough for me). At Rabotnicki, it was also Elif. However, since Elif is a girl's name in 🇹🇷, when he moved there, Fenerbahce added the j and used Eljif.
Fener goes by his passport. when he was born the state worker that registered him presumed that his name is Albanian and put LJ instead of L, as it is when transcription is done with Albanian names. however, his name is Turkish and the player himself prefers Elif and not Eljif.
