The ones I've seen usually have the names in full and the one by which they were known underlined.

I should have thought to ask this earlier. When you did have Germans that followed naming patterns, had that "Saint" first name and then the middle was the name they were called by, when it came to BMD records, how were their names written? Did BMD records list the person by both names or by the name they were called? Many thanks.
