Apparently Jimmy Carter went though something similar regarding using exact names.

In 1976 when he was running for president the Maine election committee refused to allow his name to appear as "Jimmy Carter" instead demanding he use his full name "James Earl Carter".

This was not too long after Dr. King was killed by a guy named "James Earl Ray".

He had to write an affidavit stating that he was known as Jimmy and to ask that an exception be made so as not to be confused with Ray and also since many voters might not recognize him if he used his full name.
