I just copyedited this article In the sections that describe events fter Johnny  changed his name from Number  I used his updated name It feels awkward though having it say Johnny  all over the place as opposed to Johnny or  maybe If someone else agrees with me to the point that they feel that it would be worth changing Im curious as to what the preferred name would be  Also I changed the him references to Johnny to it as he is a robot and not a human If due to the personification of the character in the movies Ive never seen them so I cant know for sure although it does seem this way from what I learned in the article is so complete that he should be referred to by him by all means change it
