Probably not. That article says, very plainly: "The comedian said she'll keep her public name as "Eddie Izzard," which she decided to maintain for the recognition." Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:49, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"which she decided to maintain for the recognition"
I lean oppose here on the basis that Wikipedia articles generally use people's public-facing names, not private, and my reading of the L.A. Times article is that Izzard uses "Suzy Eddie" privately and "Eddie" publicly. This is seen in both Izzard's comments and the fact that the Times article continues to call her "Eddie". What I would suggest is a clearer lede, something like Suzy Eddie Izzard (/ˈɪzɑːrd/; born 7 February 1962 as Edward John "Eddie" Izzard and still known by that nickname professionally). Now, if there is newer information that she prefers "Suzy Eddie" in all contexts, then I would support. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 03:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Retracting move request. Okay, that sounds like a good lede. I'll implement it. The redirect from Suzy Eddie Izzard is already set up, and she doesn't mind which name, so whether this page is moved is unimportant. LesbianTiamat (She/Her) (troll/pester) 03:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
