When do you give up trying to determine a common name?

Personally if it's a rather common name and many people share that same name.
Such as Sally, Peter, Mark, Steve.

Or when trying to figure out a common name when it's just a variation such as Pete or Peter, Steve or Steven or Stephen.

Or when someone is also known by many different names, like 5 or way more. I've come across some with as many as 10 or more.

In those cases I pretty much just give up and enter the names as credited

I concur, sometimes it is best just to use the on screen name, especially when the names are a draw.

Why surrender?

The important thing is to start with a documentation that, over time (in the case of a living actor), can be updated...

There have been difficult cases, which seem impossible, but with a little effort, and some investigation, we can slowly make clarity...
