Correct title?

It was a convention in the early 20th century to use initials for first and middle name, but we know this person's full name. Which is appropriate? Should this be under his real name? --Seantubbs (talk) 13:51, 9 September 2022 (EDT)

———— Advice from Wikipedia

For initials:

   If reliable sources write out several or all of a subject's given names nearly as often as they use initials, prefer the version with the names written in full. Example: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and not C. P. E. Bach, although the latter has more Google hits.
