Matthew Davis → Matt Davis – Per third party search engines, the use of "Matt" vs. "Matthew" seems to be this subject's WP:COMMONNAME, and has been for almost a decade now. Though he was credited as "Matthew Davis" in Legally Blonde, it seems that most notable credited media after that has him named "Matt Davis", even referred as so during interviews for almost the entirety of the previous decade. (However, moving this to Matt Davis (actor) may be an option as well as it seems he may not be the primary topic for "Matt Davis" or even "Matthew Davis", considering that Matt Davis currently targets Matthew Davis (disambiguation) and per other potentially notable targets on the aforementioned disambiguation page.)

I don't really have an opinion on what the WP:COMMONNAME is here (since a cursory search seemed pretty inconclusive), but I would definitely think that this article would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Matt Davis were that title deemed to be appropriate. Both the comedian nor rugby player average daily pageviews in the single digits, compared to the actor's ~1200. Nohomersryan (talk) 22:23, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Sources are routinely referring to him by Matthew Davis, not Matt. The actor himself even uses it in his social media handles. cookie monster (2020) 755 06:30, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
