Answer Site Builder Mike, in cooperation with Howie (User 15), have developed a plan for candidates names in fields that we feel would work well. The candidate's name that they are known by would appear in the name field that is searched for and seen. However, the first line of the biography will be the candidate's full name in bold lettering. An example would be Ted Stevens. In his name field, it should be "Ted Stevens" and the first line of the bio should read Theodore Fulton "Ted" Stevens. For women candidates, all previous names should be listed in order to lessen confusion. Finally, if a candidate is commonly known as a name, like Hillary Rodham Clinton, (her bio should read Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton) then that name is fine to use in the candidate field.
