<p>Yes, you could and that person will do so if he is physically capable of writing a name in a Death Note, but it wouldn't really matter what kind of notebook it would be.

<p>No you can't. If you do so, his name would already have been written in the Death Note, so any further name writing, would have no effect, as mentioned earlier. Therefore he wouldn't be able to kill himself. This would lead to <a href="http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use:_VI" rel="noreferrer">How to Use: VI</a> and he would die of a heart attack, since no other cause was specified.</p>

Yeah, it'd just depend on the wording you used. "John Zeurto writes his name in his Death Note, then dies of a heart attack 40 seconds later" would be alright, for example.

<p>If I write: John Zeürtö kills himself by writing his name in the Death Note. Would he do so? (In this example, John also owns a Death Note)</p>

Nothing would really happen when he writes his own name, because of [How to Use: XV](http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Rules_of_the_Death_Note#How_to_Use:_XV)

No you can't. If you do so, his name would already have been written in the Death Note, so any further name writing, would have no effect, as mentioned earlier.
