1.	Most_well_known_name (Earth-designation), but preferably birthname.

1.1.	The name still should not be shortened, like Samuel, Alexander, Susan, Natalia instead of Sam, Alex, Sue, Natasha etc.

1.2.	For women I have a dual view. Marvel love to destroy even the strongest relationships (just recently they ruined Medusa and Black Bolt's marriage, even though only a few years ago it seemed impossible), so using women's maiden surname saves time for renaming. In addition, if woman was married several times, the name should be changed as many times that will create a meaningless confusion. On the other hand, there are characters whose married name is more known (like Moira MacTaggert), so renaming them can hurt search engine optimization. Still, I am inclined to the view that maiden surname should be used like now, even if married surname more well known, even for those who have double surname (like Jean sometimes mentioned as Jean Grey-Summers).

1.3.	Adopted characters must use foster family’s surname, if it is more commonly known and vice versa, like Jessica Jones instead of Jessica Cambell, but Loki Laufeyson instead of Loki Odinson.

1.4.	Characters, whose name is known only in part, still have to be called by the name in the first place, and then codename or some distinction in the brackets, so I think it is better be Anna Marie (Rogue) instead of Rogue (Anna Marie).

2.	Yes, to maintain order and same format for all realities. Besides, as I understand it, the idea of removing Earth-616’s part is for search engine optimization. However, some characters from other reality (mainly from the movieverse) are better known, like Phil Coulson, Skye, Grant Ward etc. from MCU. For them it is Earth-199999’s part, which should be removed for SEO. Some characters even didn’t exist in main reality, so removing their Earth-designation will create a hell of a mess.

3.	If “Most_well_known_name”policy is adopted, then no. I’m already told my opinion here, in short, I think that if clone has its own well-known name, it should be used for page name (like Madelyne Pryor, Kaine, Stryfe, etc), otherwise use current format for clones.
