Christopher S. Nickell → Christopher Shea Nickell – No indication that subject's WP:COMMONNAME is "Christopher S. Nickell". In fact, judging by his hometown newspaper it would seem that he is known as "Shea Nickell". Elsewhere, including Ballotpedia, he is referenced as simply "Christopher Nickell". Whichever name form is ultimately decided upon, the other variants, three of which are currently redlinks, should exist as redirects. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:56, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Most sources say Christopher Shea Nickell. Adumbrativus (talk) 08:25, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. The "hometown newspaper" mentioned by the nominator isn't actually from Nickell's hometown, though it is in that general area—he's from Paducah. I can personally vouch for him being known by his middle name; he and I were at Paducah Tilghman High School at the same time, though we weren't closely acquainted, and we were together at Tilghman for only one year. At the time, Tilghman was a three-year high school (grades 10–12), and he graduated two years before I did. — Dale Arnett (talk) 22:23, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment: To be more clear, I'd go with "Christopher Shea". His official court bio spells out both of his given names. — Dale Arnett (talk) 20:21, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
