Aubrey Fabian → Howard Fabian – WP:COMMONNAME :The Corintians Casuals page linked to and Cricket Archive / Cricinfo seem to use Howard Fabian as his name in preference to Aubrey Fabian, as do his old school and a number of articles found on the web: e.g. "Howard Fabian, inside-forward for Highgate pre-War, in three losing finals and in a semi-final for Derby in the FA Cup" Telegraph article on Corinthians "A Howard Fabian (also Staff 1932-72) England Amateur Footballer; FA Amateur Cup finalist with Corinthian Casuals; FA Cup semi-finalist with Derby County"School website

The only mention of Aubrey Fabian I can find is at the 11v11.com link on the page and various wikipedia mirror sites. All mainspace links to the page on wikipedia are either redirects from Howard Fabian, or are piped to appear as Howard Fabian.

I see someone has tried this move already and been reverted, so I'm opening it up for discussion. I guess Aubrey Howard Fabian may be a possibility too, as some external sources use this too? Spike &#39;em (talk) 11:47, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Support - as WP:COMMONNAME. I reverted the previous move attempt as it was undiscussed and there was insufficient explanation, however the evidence here is compelling. GiantSnowman 18:16, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Support. I made the previous (reverted) move, thinking it uncontroversial, per WP:COMMONNAME. In addition to written sources I have met plenty of people who knew him - all as Howard.GooglerW (talk) 22:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
