Not a point about the article, but I love how Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has come to be referred to primarily by her mono-acronym.

Are there other individuals who have been primarily known by only their initials? (Excluding authors like J.K. Rowling, etc. where pen names are more common).

It used to be common to refer to politicians by their initials. JFK, LBJ, FDR for John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Franklin Roosevelt. It seemed to go out of style when we started knowing them by their diminutives. E.G. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton.
