At least a first name if family name is too much administrative hassle.

    A guy I used to work with went by the nickname of “Womble”, his name was actually Raymond.

    One day I was poking through work orders in our system and discovered that it also officially knew him as “Womble <last name>” and there was no sign of Raymond in there.

      That’s the thing: if he went by Womble at work then that was his name. The fact that the government called him Raymond doesn’t make that his only name, they are both valid.
