Same as whatever people do with their physical mail. Someone goes by a middle initial or you add a title to one and not the other.
Your physical home address used to get printed under your photo in the 1940s newspapers. They stopped when people started to get murdered. I think there's good reasons we don't publicly ID off home addresses anymore. It sure would make life somewhat simpler if we could though.

Citation needed.
Were the murderers foiled by having to use the phone book instead of the newspaper? Was it the lack of pictures that stopped them?

Probably the photo and adress published together would make it much easier to trigger murdering psychopaths whereas phonebooks had no pictures. Just my assumption as I am not familiar with this practice, though I do believe it is quite a bad idea
Then what happens when John (who is actually John Jr., but never uses the Junior unless legally required) has a son John III? Then John Sr. moves in rather than to a nursing home.
