Skip ![](/images/emoticons/happy.gif) Sounds like the way to go. Although the rules don't address this: Quoting: Gadgeteer Quote: What if there is a middle name as-well? eg. "Idaho" Lewis John Croft
If we are to follow the rule (which is probably the right option),and place the nickname in the middle name field, should the nickname be before or after the proper middle name? Putting it before the middle name makes sense to me. ie Lewis/"Idaho" John/Croft | | | Stuart | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

Hopefully we will never come across anyone like this Stu If we do, I reckon it is the exception to the rule and can be judged on a 'case by case' basis. Keep the 'nickname' in the middle name slot in my humble opinion | | | ![](http://www.richesdvds.co.uk/phpdvdprofiler/ws.php?me=richierich) |

| Posted: | | | | This particular case has me thinking though, as my first instinct tell me they called him "Idaho Lewis", with Idaho obviously only being a nickname add-on. But moving it to the middle name field would indicate they only called him "Idaho"... hope this kind of makes sense to anyone. and sorry for throwing in the wrench Based on that I voed for "Idaho" Lewis//Croft. ...I am aware that this is mainly based on common sense Besides, as mentioned above, whatever would become the common name, the "on screen name" can be put in Credited As". | | | Achim [諾亞信; Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

I didn't mention anything that would be contributed in my post... | | | Achim [諾亞信; Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan. Registered: May 29, 2000 (at InterVocative) |

However, "as credited" (Credited As...?) has no fields, so it will just be ["Idaho" Lewis Croft]. Yup, good point. Since the "as credited" field is not broken into parts like the "Common name" as credited would simply be: "Idaho" Lewis Croft" Perhaps we need to add to the Rules, that "nicknames" should be excluded from the "Common Name" field. Or, maybe not. | | | Hal |

Perhaps we need to add to the Rules, that "nicknames" should be excluded from the "Common Name" field. Or, maybe not. I would exclude nicknames from the common name, they seem to change a lot from film to film, often never the same twice! Then we could add 'as credited' just as we see it. pdf | | | Paul Francis San Juan Capistrano, CA, USA |
