    So you would use Pele's long-ass given name?

    That's ridiculous. Call them by their legal name. Quit being a douche.

    Reminds me of the whole, "We ain't gonna call him Muhammad Ali! We gonna call him Clay, no matter what he thinks!"

    If dude wants to change his name, call him by his name.

    How many of us almost (or did) do the old Farve instead of Favre? Or Sabres intead of Sabers?

    I rememeber the good old days though when you could get a kids name like John and all you needed to ask was with an h or not. Now its Jahnn or some type of crap like that.

    All you do is confuse your fucking readers, who are aware of Nene by his name...Nene. If you say that Nene Abuaromashay had 14 points, they might not know who the hell this Aburamoashay fellow is.

    There's no need to have a power trip.

    True. Suzuki or Ming are not exactly household words so why use them?

    I do think Pacman should be referred to as Adam Jones though - just for posterity.
