What are the pros and cons to entering variations of a person's or character's name on a work?
Example: "Teresa Carreño" (how the name is presented in the book / marketing) vs. both that simple version and "María Teresa Gertrudis de Jesús Carreño García" on the same work (separate lines)?
I lean toward using only the simplified versions but wonder about what's missed in doing that.
