After a shower, have decided that “professional names” are acceptable, when that is how the person is generally known (e.g., Buddy Holly, Winona Ryder). Nicknames like Debbie and Pete were accepted from the jump. Still on the fence about Magic Johnson.

did anybody ever call him Earvin Johnson?
― Filibuster Poindexter (Neanderthal), Saturday, 24 April 2021 15:42 (five years ago)
Surely “Magic Johnson” is the only name by which almost anyone knows Magic Johnson

I’m afraid his official Twitter account is heavily dispositive here
― best time to call is friday and saturday afternoons! (morrisp), Saturday, 24 April 2021 15:44 (five years ago)
(and fwiw, I have heard him called Earvin and always knew that was his name... I had to look up Buddy Holly‘s name, had no clue what that was)

OK, Hemingway and Magritte don't count, although you could make an argument for people who are one-name famous.

You could include "Mr. Wilson" in that longer list as well.

Some of those so flagrantly disregard the rules, it’s a scandal (“Jack the Ripper”??)
