Yours is an interesting approach I’d have to admit, but it also has it fallacies. Under your method, you get a weird looking name, “Johanna Maria ‘Anna’ Schamper” which was never her name…only in your mind. What I mean by that is you’ll never find any documents using that name. Her name was either Johnanna Maria Schampers OR Anna Schampers and never a combination. Another fallacy with your method is that you leave the impression or either two first names, two middle names, or in certain Latino cultures, two surnames. Using the Legacy supplies AKA entry, her actual name is not left to interpretation.

I NEVER use their aka names box because then you get that weird sentence "Another name for Johanna Maria is Anna." I'd enter the name as Johanna Maria 'Anna' Schampers and then I can also see it immediately in Family View and the name index without looking at Notes.
