"infobox. Names, like gender, ought to be treated as matter of preference. Otherwise, since each author or artist has a different reason for a name change, and different degrees of change (legal, marital, social, literary, etc), the inconsistency in the way it is handled is to be expected. In my case, the change of the name extends to all current usage, including publication, professional, and legal. Given this, it seems to me misleading to assert the birth name and previous nickname in the main body of the article (again, it is clearly marked in the infobar), and thus push it to the top of search results, as though the new name in this particular case were ""only"" a pen name, and somehow not real.
