Zi Ling or Wang Ning: which name should an English archive lead with?

International viewers often meet this character through different subtitles, summaries and phases of her life. Using only one name can make two searches look like two people; listing every alias without context creates the opposite problem. My preference is to lead with Zi Ling, preserve Wang Ning as an identity relationship, and explain when each name is relevant. For fans who first watched rather than read the novel, which name did you encounter first, and did the identity change make the character clearer or more confusing?
