She's just credited as "Shirley Bingham", so her introducing herself with the "Anne" is no different than someone using their full name as an introduction. BananaClownMan ☎ 22:35, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

All the promotional material refers to her as "Shirley Anne Bingham", though. Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 18:57, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

That certainly does muddy the water, but surely the episode credits take precedence over promotional material? After all, it one thing to be promoted with a full name, and given a more traditional fore and surname in the official credits? BananaClownMan ☎ 10:52, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

In the episode, she's referred to only as "Shirley Anne Bingham", though, and never "Shirley Bingham". I think we should wait and see if any episodes refer to her as the latter before making any hasty decisions. Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 10:56, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. BananaClownMan ☎ 11:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

In The Giggle, she is only called Shirley. I think this is grounds to rename the page to just "Shirley Bingham", as she is credited again in the credits. At the very least, it would prevent editors mistakenly calling her "Shirley Anne", in the same vein as Sarah Jane Smith, on her page. BananaClownMan ☎ 11:16, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

But I think Sarah Jane Smith is just the precedent! It seems she's "Shirley" for short but "Shirley Anne Bingham" when she gives her full name: we still have no "Shirley Bingham". See also Yasmin Khan, who is most often Yaz but never ever Yaz Khan. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 11:26, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
