I would use the name found on the source(s) of information. Make variant access points as appropriate.

Subject: [PCCLIST] Establishing person with nickname
NACO folks:
A question comes to mind as I establish for the first time a personal name with a nickname attached: Charles “Buckey” Grimm. Looking through the NAF, I find this kind of nickname treated as an alternative first name rather than as a conjured
up middle name. It’s rare I come across a 100 or 400 reading Smith, John “Nickname”. RDA, the PSs, and the NACO training materials don’t address this matter.
Do I follow the precedent set in the NAF as I build out the 100s and 400s in Grimm’s authority record?
