Its been claimed that Mr Eide has legally changed his name to Xavier Von Erck, which appears to be substantiated by the final link in the refs. PJ-critical sites suggest the image of his drivers licence was digitally manipulated, and upon my own inspection, it certainly doesn't look unquestionable. You'd think the guy could take a better picture or scan, especially since the whole goal of posting it appears to be proving his name to people critical of his pseudonymity without any further doubt. Regardless, and to fit with conventions, it may still be appropriate to add a (born Philip John Eide) to this entry or a future entry for Xavier Von Erck. I'd make the aforementioned reference a general ""numbered"" ref attached to the first instance of his name, but I don't think the matter of his name has been settled for factual accuracy or the interest of people who view this entry.
