My father Z”L was never called by his given name. No one except a few very close relatives knew what it was. In fact on my parents’ wedding invitations after his given name there was a parentheses with his nickname inside.
Therefore, it was a no brainer that his foot stone (we have a family plot headstone) would have his nickname on it.
