Question by player Upstart3

Answer: Mozart

Mozart certainly did his best to confuse everyone. He never used his first two baptismal names and never used the aristocratic 'von', preferring to call himself Mozart instead of Von Mozart. In his letters, Mozart initially used the first name of Amadé, a frenchified latin translation of Theophilus (or its German variant Gottlieb). Later on, Mozert switched to Wolfgang Amadé.

Whenever it tickled his fancy, however, Mozart would introduce himself as Wolfgang Gottlieb, just Wolfgang, Wolfgango Amadeo and even Gnagflow Trazom (his name spelled backwards). Apparently, he used the nowadays more famous name Amadeus only three times in his letters!

His wife Constanze made her life easier by nicknaming him Wolfi.
