There's not one *combining* nicknames and capitalization that I can remember, but cases like this: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1361 say we can be flexible about nicknames as long as it's clear who's being discussed (and we can do it without adding "officially" to the Registrar tracking multiple nicknames). Further, the following used to be Rule text, and is generally still the guideline for interpretation of capital letters (I can't think of a capitalization-specific CFJ that's happened since this text was removed; this may be another 'text-to-put-back' if it's useful to be explicit): (1) A difference in spelling, grammar, capitalization, or dialect, or the use of a synonym or abbreviation in place of a word or phrase is inconsequential in all forms of communication, as long as the difference does not create an ambiguity in meaning, except for the purpose of reporting on or quoting the text of a legal document.
