We actually do have that for the Grace Jones cases, since there was more than one of them.Ryoung122 (talk) 22:51, April 27, 2017 (UTC) I would actually differentiate between different supercentenarians with the same name using their maiden name - see Ida Shelvin Williams and Ida Ellington Williams.

Of course, that's a rather arbitrary decision. Generally speaking, the name of the biography should be the name that the person generally went by.

I know from personal experience that using a "middle name" is a solution, though not because one wants to. "Robert Young" is a very common name.Ryoung122 (talk) 13:39, April 28, 2017 (UTC)
