Indeed it could, but it lacks a solve date and the reasoning that led to it. What I can tell you is that the thread has had its current title since 2007, and everyone accepted it. The Anette aka was only added in 2012, 5 years later, but not adopted as the lead-name
It can certainly be argued that a certain name is "perhaps better-known" as you put it, because that name appears in one or two individual issues more. But that does not necessarily mean that it's better-known, because it does not take distribution numbers into account, or the fact that only enthusiasts would have remembered it anyway -- people are much more likely to learn names from this site than they ever were from decades old magazines
What we're also aware, and wary of, is that some Members -- and I'm not looking at you -- are passionate about their favorites. We had an interesting case some months ago in CP when a former Admin no less, got in a terrible mood over two pornstars who had the same aka's, ie, several of them, including the main name. It turned out his favorite was not the first to use his preferred name for her, so she was given a different front-name with his preferred name as an aka. He wasn't rude to us, but he's in America and I live next to Russia, and I could hear the hissing & spitting from here
At any rate, that is why name changes in established threads sometimes need compelling reasons. And please remember, we have no skin in the game, so there's no bias
