As far as I can tell, Bubba is his real surname, and 'Head', while
probably pseudonymous (it's often given in quotes), is preferred enough
that he's referred to as "Head" Bubba in Credit Suisse public documents.

I almost hope his name is pseudonymous: it'd be evidence that you don't
need to abandon pseudonyms even when you climb to senior positions :)

(One question remains unanswered: who is Shem Multinymous? Now there's a
name that just *screams* 'pseudonym'... :) )

This was just brought to my attention. My legal name is Head Bubba. There is no mystery. I have the court order for my legal name change. Names don't matter, what matters is what you can do.
