I don't understand how calling Wolverine as Wolverine could be more confusing than James Howlett. We don't need a poll to know which name is better known. We opted to use real names for some kind of pseudo-encyclopedic look and that's causing problems for us.

I think that we should name alternate characters with same principles as others. So it will be codename if real name is not revealed. I don't think we should assume anything about alternates and strictly go what's published. Otherwise we would have to deal with naming of characters from Earth-8311.

I meant when we call all the other alternates James Howlett and then we don't call this one James Howlett, it's kinda of weird when its clearly the same character and not lets say, a Colossus Wolverine counterpart.

The Wolverine name itself is not confusing since most people that don't read a comic book don't know him by James Howlett.
