Well, you know, you're kinda talking about apples and oranges.

There's a difference between characters that have no name and those that have one name. In the original cases you put forward, we were talking about choosing to go with no name over going with an actual name. In that instance some kind of name wins out. However, in the case of Bruce and Miranda, you're talking about changing the name that they're known by in the primary source versus one that they're not known by at all.

When Bruce (Doctor Who) pops up in auto-suggest, you're much more likely to know who that is versus Bruce Gerhardt.
