I can find no evidence that Elvis ever legally changed his name to a mononym, nor was he born mononymic, the only two criteria for making it onto this list. --[[User:Cryptognome|Cryptognome]] ([[User talk:Cryptognome|talk]]) 05:24, 10 November 2018 (UTC) |

References
AFAICT references are better put in the pointed-to articles than in this - though I agree that having specific citations for the legal name would be helpful. 69.181.69.97 (talk) 23:34, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Monarchy
Aren't British monarchy considered to have a single name? --aliw136 17:37, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
According to that page, "None of the above, except arguably the children of the Earl and Countess of Wessex, actually have a surname as part of their legal name", though - so the royal family are mononymous --24.228.88.37 (talk) 03:48, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Chadrick W. Fowler -> "Chadrick"
There is no article for this person and notability has not been established. A legal document may show that the subject has changed his name to a legal mononym, but this is not necessarily sufficient to establish notability, otherwise this article would be a list of mostly Indonesian mononyms.
Reverted yet again. 71.176.51.160 (talk) 21:34, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
While not exactly a celebrity A-lister, Chadrick meets the requirements of being notable, being known to such a large amount of people through various works. The goal should be to keep this list as accurate as possible. As the notes to editors indicate, if anyone feels that this list is becoming too long, it should be separated into different categories (i.e. actors, writers, royalty, etc.), particularly for the sake of mononyms from Indonesia.
- Remember, Wikipedia is not your personal blog. There are rules, and one of them is WP:WTAF . Take a moment to read it, and then also read the Wikipedia policy on WP:Notability. Keep in mind that just because YOU have changed YOUR name to Chadrick, is not notable enough in its own right. If you can find independent sources that conform to WP:CITE , add it to the article, then add Chadrick to the list. 71.176.51.160 (talk) 17:23, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
