Thruston Ballard Morton → Thruston Morton – WP:COMMONNAME. Most scholarly works and contemporary news coverage avoided using his full middle name, for example this 1995 book, along with Time in Jan. 17, 1964, p. 12 and Mar. 1, 1968, p. 15 and the NBC Nightly News in 1968.

Support per nomination. No need for the middle name or even the frequently-seen middle initial "B." WP:COMMONNAME, indeed. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:29, 4 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
