When I wrote in XF, I called Scully "Scully", although the general fannish understanding was that she probably thought of herself as Dana. Unless there was a specific point to be made, it just gets confusing to the reader if too many names get thrown about. (Witness the poor folks reading Dorothy Dunnett for the first time, who ask woefully, "Who is The Master of Culter and what does he have to do with this Lymond fellow?")
