Patricia Nixon Cox →
Tricia Nixon Cox — Yes, Patricia is her "official" name, but I don't think I have ever heard her reffered to as "Patricia" during my lifetime. The way the article currently is titled (Patricia Nixon Cox) is setting a standard that no common names are allowed on Wikipedia. But what about other articles on Wikipedia that don't use official names? Take her mother, First Lady
Pat Nixon, for instance. Do we now have to change Pat Nixon to "Thelma Catherine Ryan Nixon?" That's her official name, but nobody new her as that; the same is true here. —

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with*'''Support'''or*'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with~~~~. Since
polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account
Wikipedia's naming conventions.
Oppose - There is already a redirect page at
Tricia Nixon that points here, it's not appropriate to change the canonical article to use a common form of her name

Actually, that would be appropriate, per
WP:UCN. Support move.

Support based on Google: "Patricia Nixon", about 13,800; "Tricia Nixon" -Patricia, about 20,100. I'd also support a move to
Patricia "Tricia" Nixon Cox.
