Yes they did. They really did, and if I said Alexander

No one would have a clue who I was talking about.

If I say Boris, people the world over would know who I'm referring to irrespective of how the name came about.

It's incredible that you can't put your petty gripes aside and just accept the simple fact that people have names, and that's how we identify them.

If I call him Johnson or Boris Johnson will that make you feel better?

And while I'm at it, I'll refer to Alice Cooper as Vincent Damon Furnier because he cultivated that Alice persona.
