Maurice Williams (basketball) → Mo Williams — As per comment above, most easily recognized name, far more Google hits, and eliminates ambiguity with other people named Maurice Williams. Yahoo Sports, ESPN and other sites all refer to him as Mo Williams. — Bssc81 (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support I've been thinking about doing this for a while. He was listed at NBA.com as "Maurice Williams" as late as 2007 [1], but now, "Mo Williams" is the name they use. [2] Zagalejo^^^ 19:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
