Akani Songsermsawad → Sunny Akani – Currently he goes by the name on Sunny Akani. His profile on the World Snooker website also lists him as Sunny Akani as opposed to his birth name.

- Support as per sources. But keep reference to Akani Songsermsawad as his birth name in the new article. Andygray110 (talk) 18:37, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support change as outlined by user Andygray110. 2A02:C7D:7E6C:1B00:3450:625C:5175:C79B (talk) 19:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Support, but partially. Although most sources use the name "Sunny Akani", the name screen for his seat still uses the full name, but it appears as if he's generally referred to as Sunny. --CitroenLover (talk) 20:12, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - either is fine. He is known by both names; in a unique way. Official documents, including the name on the seat, and the progression lists on world snooker call him by his birth name, but his name on screen, and the one he is referred to by commentators and media is Sunny. So long as it is mentioned in the text, and the other is a redirect, it shouldn't matter. (Similar cases with screen names and real names usually have people going by their Screen names - Say Stone Cold Steve Austin. Lee Vilenski(talk) 16:43, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
