Option 4) The name that the character personally chooses to go by.

What about characters that are referred to by multiple names? "Rumpel" and "Gold" are used interchangeably, and so are "Snow" and "Mary Margaret", and "Ruby" and "Red". As stated in other discussions, Snow abandoned the name "Mary Margaret" in 5x13. Meanwhile, Ruby continued to use that name in FTL when meeting Mulan in 5x09, treating "Red" as a nickname ("but my friends call me 'Red'.") while "Rumplestiltskin" is his real name that he still goes by personally, but some other characters like Emma and Henry still called him Mr. Gold before S7. Snow has been called MM after 5x13, though. Rumpel still recognizes the name Gold, and he is also currently responding to "Weaver". And there's a myriad other smaller characters who have ambiguous "standard" names. And then you have how aliases fit into this ("Charming", for instance).

It's unnecessarily complicated. Just use the press release name.
