WP:OR - no source I can find says they are *legally* mononymous - some sources say they are monomyous but the fact that it is legal requires additional research (and is original) |

The change may be an offence under the Name Act, but that does not render the change ineffective. At "common-law a person could adopt any name in the community, provided that this was not done with any intention to defraud others. One's legal name was the name one was known by, determined merely as a question of common usage within the community". (C.E.D. Western [3rd Edition] Volume 34, pg. 147-47).
A person may have more than one name, or may be known by more than one name, or may change their name without going through a formal process which results in a record of that change. … The Name Act does not appear to require any formal registration of such an election or use.
In addition, there does not appear to be anything which invalidates a change of name by common-law even though that change might be an offence under the Name Act. …}}</ref>
