To answer Matt's question: I am talking about
*very* specific cases. For example, I *do* list "Oscar
Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde" for "Oscar
Wilde."
Two examples of the sort of answer I am referring
to:
(1) (-)-6-[2-amino-2-(p-hydrozyphenyl)acetamido]-3,3-
dimethyl-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo[3.2.0]heptane-2-carboxylic acid" for "amoxicillin".
(2) "The
Fortunate Mistress: or, a History of the life and vast
variety of fortunes of Mademoiselle de Beleau, afterwards
call'd the Countess de Wintselsheim, in Germany, being
the person known by the name of the Lady Roxana in
the Time of King Charles II" for "Roxana".
[In
the latter case, I would abbreviate the title, as
"The Lady Roxana" is reasonable, as would be "The
Fortunate Mistress," but I would consider any attempt to
give THAT answer in full as deliberate stalling.]
