These Real Life examples do not appear to be examples. Not single letter names. They appear to be single letter initials as part of names.
* RealLife inversion: JohnnyCash\\\'s name at birth was was \\\"J. R. Cash;\\\" his parents couldn\\\'t agree on a name, but they had agreed on initials. The Air Force, however, would not let him enlist without a \\\"proper\\\" first name (meaning, not some initials), and he legally changed his name to John R. Cash; when he got out of the Air Force and started performing, he took \\\"Johnny\\\" as a stage name.
* Real life example that gets abbreviated down to a single letter: Coach K, the head basketball coach at Duke University. Probably because most of them couldn\\\'t pronounce \\\"[[TheUnpronounceable Coach Krzyzewski]]\\\".
* RussellTDavies added the T to differentiate from radio presenter Russell Davies. It doesn\\\'t actually stand for anything.
* DavidXCohen of futurama fame added the X to his name because the writer\\\'s guild of america could have only one writer under David Cohen, so he added an X because it sounded \\\"science-fictiony\\\".
* Former UN secretary-general U Thant isn\\\'t actually a RealLife example: U is a Burmese honorific roughly equivalent to \\\"mister\\\", not a name.
* Two real-life examples are \\\'\\\'HarrySTruman\\\'\\\' and \\\'\\\'UlyssesSGrant\\\'\\\' - both of their middle names are just S.
