Question for One Piece people

Is there a generally agreed-upon spelling for Iceberg's name? I notice AO3 has him "Iceburg" -- is that how it's normally romanized?

Not that I need to know for ... reasons or anything.

(We finished Water 7/Enies Lobby last night, up through episode 324, and HOLY MOLY. *____* Also, I really want to know why there is basically no fic on AO3 for Iceberg and Franky. .... well, okay, I know why, because Iceberg is a relatively minor character from a story arc in the mid-2000s, but I WANT IT ANYWAY. Most of the One Piece fic is hiding over on ff.net, isn't it?)

The One Piece wiki says: "Despite the fact that Eiichiro Oda has spelled his name as "Iceburg" multiple times,[9] this is not always used. Both the manga[citation needed] and the anime[10] spelled the name as "Icebarg" once, while his name was romanized as "Iceberg" in a recent fan poll.[11] It was also spelled as "Icebarge" on the newspaper that Crocus was reading in Episode 381."

That seems to only deal with the Japanese version, though. I have no idea how it's spelt in the Viz translation.
