Graham, I had not noticed this before, and it's not just the Given Name BTW., it applies to the whole of the AKA. I don't think that this is a Legacy problem, but that of GEDxlate. I use a GEDCOM for the creation of my One-Name pages and an AKA is correctly shown as an alternative name. The NICK tag is used for a name included in quotes in the main name.

When I add an 'alternate' name from the Family view screen in Legacy, (via the AKA icon), a popup box appears, and that alternate name has to be added in the "Given name" area. Shouldn't that be "Alternate" or "Nick" name area. Because now, when I convert a gedcom via GEDxlate to excel (XLate to MS Excel) that "Given name" area appears in the Excel spreedsheet in place of their real names? Am I doing something wrong?
