I was doing a profile and tried to enter Floyd "Red Crow" Westerman and it lists 3 entries.


Floyd / Red Crow / Westerman
Floyd / "Red Crow" / Westerman
Floyd / 'Red Crow' / Westerman

In the credits it lists him only as Floyd Westerman. But these 3 names show up, so which one is the correct one to use?

Based on the credit lookup tool, and the fact that IMDB uses single quotes ('Red Crow'), I'd say that Floyd / Red Crow / Westerman should be the "common name", and Floyd Westerman should be the "credited as" name.

Quoting CubbyUps:
Quote:
Floyd / Red Crow / Westerman
Floyd / "Red Crow" / Westerman
Floyd / 'Red Crow' / Westerman

The first one, because this is not a nickname but a native american name.

I did a little research with the Credit Lookup Tool and in comparison to the (as )-entries in IMDb he seems to be credited at least in his bigger films (Dances With Wolves, Hidalgo and The Doors) and in many of his X-Files appearences as Floyd Red Crow Westerman.

So if in the future most of the IMDb data will be corrected in the Invelos database the majority of his profiles should have him listed as Floyd Red Crow Westerman.

In my opinion Floyd / Red Crow / Westerman [Floyd Westerman] is the correct one to use.
