Everyone knows him as Cervantes, even though his full name is Miguel de Cervantes. I live in Castilla-La Mancha and everywhere is Quijote.. I even know a lady called Dulcinea.. not a common name btw.

Edit. Just read this and sorry might have come across overly pedantic. I just got up and my brain is still toast.

Well there's probably not a lot of other well-know people with the last name "(de) Cervantes". Same in Germany, no one ever uses "Johann Wolfgang von Goethe", it's always just "Goethe".
