^the first three are disqualified—no extra words or nicknames allowed!—though I just realized “Magic Johnson” isn’t actually his real name, lol

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?

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

(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.
