:Full name alone seems right to me. I like to see "more commonly known as" when it isn't clear that the same person uses both names (Example: "Abadin Tadia Tjoessoep, more commonly known as Sheikh Yusuf or Sheik Joseph") but I think we all kvow that David and Dave are forms of the same name.

Name

I don't think it's particularly necessary to have the clutter of his full given name, and a "also know as" and his normal day to day name. Question is, how to fix it? I'm thinking: putting his full name first, and day to day name in parenthesis after, or just use his full name and skip the day to day name. I vote for just his full name.
