Support. Google Search hits for "Ernest John Obiena" but without "EJ Obiena" is ~37.3k. For the reverse, "EJ Obiena" but without "Ernest John Obiena" is 605k: a clear winner. "Ernest John Obiena" may be used more in foreign (non-Philippine sources) and in results databases, though. Howard the Duck (talk) 21:32, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per sources given. They call him EJ, so should Wikipedia. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:40, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
