I agree that the nicknameincluded as it islooks pejorative, and  makes the article look unencyclopedic. As Blondlieut, no one is saying that the nickname should not be in the article. Place it lower, or place the nickname like on the Eisenhower page. You claim the idea is identification, however, the President of the United states is not Bono. How many people know him solely by Dubya but not his given nam: George Bush? His nickname is secondary to the fact he is President. Is there nothing more important to put in its place?
