Name

According to "Zum 75. Geburtstag von Sepp Blatter: Top Ten und Bilderstrecke – 11 Freunde". 11FREUNDE.de., Blatter was born Josef Blatter but later took the nick name Sepp (a German language diminutive of Josef) and styled himself Joseph S Blatter (note the anglicized spelling of Joseph) where the S does not stand for anything per se but references his nick name. In accordance with the Manual of Style, how should this be reflected in the lead? Greenshed (talk) 03:32, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
