There's nothing misleading about stating someone's full name if their "generally known as" name is in the title. I think it looks far more "clumsy" to have only half of someone's name bolded.

For example, we have an article for the supercentenarian generally known as [[Amy Johnson]]. Her middle name is Mirelda, so should the first line be "'''Amy''' Mirelda '''Johnson'''", if she is not generally referred to as her middle name?

It just unnecessarily complicates things as far as I'm concerned. [[User:Ollie231213|Ollie231213]] ([[User talk:Ollie231213|talk]]) 21:29, October 24, 2017 (UTC)

There's nothing misleading about stating someone's full name if their "generally known as" name is in the title. I think it looks far more "clumsy" to have only half of someone's name bolded.

For example, we have an article for the supercentenarian generally known as Amy Johnson. Her middle name is Mirelda, so should the first line be

"Amy Mirelda Johnson..."

if she is not generally referred to as her middle name?
