To confirm that she wasn't taking a blind punt at the question asked by OP?

Why doesn't he just call himself Alex then? Nothing wrong with that name. It's better than AJ anyway, which sounds a bit silly and American.

He has always been known as AJ in the dance world, certainly as long as I have known him.

I don't think you need to be a non believer
The guy confirms it on Twitter -

Some dance websites have his name as Alex -

I would never question Bendymixer's knowlage about pro dancers seeing as she has had dealings in the dance community for some time.

By the same token then, why doesn't Anton go by his real name - Tony?

Yes, that's what people do in forums, give their opinions.

Anton is at least a proper name. What I really meant is why do people use initials instead of an actual name? I just find it weird. It sounds so cringeworthy, very americanised, and as if they are trying to be really "cool"!

I don't dislike AJ/Alex by the way, I think he will be a good new pro for Strictly.

But don't you get endless Byker Grove jokes? Where's Duncan, etc?

I can't say it bothers me at all that he calls himself AJ. In fact, I hadn't even considered what his actual name(s) might be before this thread.

I'm not trying to start an argument, but IIRC Anton's real name is Tony? So Anton is a nickname. Just like AJ

Like I said in the Judge Rider thread I have a double barrel 1st name but everyone calls me John because its what I'm comfortable with and what I like so AJ& Anton are just doing the same. there's surley no problem me doing it so Anton AJ and Judge Rinder are no different?
