The "use quoted names in Narratives" and "remove quoted given names" options
should be a good solution to the problem.  However, they aren't applied
consistently.  I have reported this on many occasions, and asked for a fix,
but my requests have been ignored and never even acknowledged by Support.
There are many places where the "quoted" name is still used - for example:
They had one child - William Raymond "Bill" Smith.  This should read: They
had one child - William Raymond Smith (preferably) or I would accept ....had
one child - Bill Smith.  As it is it is neither one thing nor another.
I am happy that on charts, or anything other than narratives, the full name
is used.  But when I am reading about the life of a person I want to see the
name they used commonly.
Cheers,
Jan
