Jan 12, 2013 at 3:00 comment added Jim White You are absolutely right. Indeed, within Lehmer's paper, it's only in the title that an umlaut is used, within the text proper it's always "Størmer". Apologies to Wiki and anybody else I might have inadvertently offended! :-)
Jan 11, 2013 at 5:24 comment added Gene Ward Smith Why would a Norwegian spell his name like a German? Anyway, he didn't. Here's a bio in Norwegian: snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Carl_St%C3%B8rmer/utdypning and another: web.archive.org/web/20080505005456/http://www.fys.uio.no/plasma/… Even so, Viggo Brun spelled the name with an umlaut when writing about him in English.
