[Opinions] Hmmm...Yes (edit)
Did he use that prn. as an adult? I've known more than a couple people who, for one reason or another, chose a different prn. as an adult.
And, by "he" do you mean this guy you talked to, or J.R.R. and his family?
AND, is this the way the family prn. it, or the way "people" and "the world" pronounce it, because many people know us, but still pronounce our last name incorrectly.ETA:
