I'm wondering whether there is some convention for using sort tags where
the names don't really have a first name, but rather use an adjective,
or a title, etc...
Examples:
* Lady Gaga
* Weird Al Yankovic
* The Notorious B.I.G.
* Sleepy Brown
etc...

I always only used the last name, when it was clear that it was a First
Name / Last Name thing. However, sometimes it's not clear at all whether
something is a first name or just an adjective / calling name. I had
occasions before (though cannot remember the exact cases now) where for
long I thought someone's name was an artist name with some adjective,
when it turned it out it was their real first name.

At the moment, I'm more inclined to sort the above names based on the
last name (or at least main part of the name) rather than as-is. When
you look at Wikipedia, you see in the articles these persons also
referred to as 'Gaga', 'Yankovic', 'Brown', etc.. which would warrant
sorting them there.

Ideas?
