Chijindu Ujah → CJ Ujah – I believe CJ is his WP:COMMONNAME, as per BBC, Independent, Athletics Weekly and his own Twitter. Even some sources that refer to him as Chijindu also use CJ in other places in the article e.g. Guardian. Joseph2302 (talk) 07:53, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Support Neither name is unacceptable given both are used in reliable sources, but the proposed title appears to be more commonly used. Regarding how the the initials would be written, as our MOS:INITIALS guideline explains, when "the person demonstrably has a different, consistently preferred style for their own name; and an overwhelming majority of reliable sources use that variant style for that person" we should use that version.--Yaksar (let's chat) 13:28, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Oppose enough UK media are using his full name to not have to take the nickname. In ictu oculi (talk) 19:58, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That seems to run counter to our naming policy, which is to use the commonly used name in reliable sources, not to default to full names regardless of usage.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:34, 13 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Support, per WP:COMMONNAME. Renerpho (talk) 23:38, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
