I missed what started the "Maid in Manhattan" DEBATE.  Here is what I think we should do about names and credited as.  Just my puny thoughts on the subject.  For example let's use "Tommy" Chong.  His given birth first name is "Thomas" and he is credited that way in a lot of his movies even though on the cover of a dvd he may be listed as "Tommy".  I would say his cast name would be "Thomas" Chong with no credited as if "Thomas" was in the credits.  His cast name would be "Thomas" Chong with credited as "Tommy" if listed that way in the credits.  I hope this discussion can stay civil and not degenerate into WW20.
