I agree, Sauer had no say in the selection of his name, nether did I or you
regarding our names.

At his age, 45+ years, he should be beyond the "phases" one would
have with discomfort regarding ones, first, middle or last names, typically
children go through this.

My legal first name is Ross, when I was school age, people used to tease me
by calling me Rosie, or Ross Moss and when the Dukes Of Hazzard came out,
"Rossco P Coltrain" Whooppee... Look at my last name, people used
to pronounce it the same way a now deceased sportscaster pronounced his
"Cosell" whooppee.

Thats the rigors of childhood, normal people get over it, Sauer evidently has not.

Might I remind you that it was Sauer whom provided his "full
name", among other things like his military DD214, all to total
strangers within this network.

A. His full real name is nothing to be ashamed of.

B. He provided it among other things, he made his bed, he should sleep in it.
