Translators should turn foreign names into English ones, and characters should be called the one single name throughout, regardless of what the author wrote.

Yes, but most people in the US go by only one of our given names. Most of my friends don't even know my middle name.

Those blank pages in the back of books are for notes. Write them down fucker.

Just like I don't know the patronymics of my friends.
Just ignore them and only use to see who is whose father or son

If a character has more than one name, the book isn't worth reading.

I've never understood why some people find the names difficult. They're just names.
