That's more of a nickname. His name is Jean Cadoret.

Jean de Florette

That's more of a nickname. His name is Jean Cadoret.

Thx for the correction. I suspected as such, but a cursory look didn't turn up anything.

I knew that someone like you would have the answer!

I still had sections of postings that I'm sorting through, but that you mention this, I've added it.

Tom Sawyer
Huckleberry Finn
Becky Sharp
Charlie Bartlett
Mary Stuart

[Magna]

Nancy Drew (film)

And some televised/filmed operas:
Eugene Onegin
Boris Godunov
Maria Stuarda

[econgator]

Scooby-Doo

Also, don't think that Horatio Hornblower would work. The Gregory Peck movie is Captain Horatio Hornblower and the A&E series is just Hornblower.

Do Calamity Jane and Billy the Kid count? Their real last names were different, but they're obviously known by those names.
Lucky Luke
Edward Scissorhands
Irma la Douce
Conan the Barbarian
Jane Eyre
Julie Johnson
Ed Gein (short for Edward but known by Ed, ruling?)
Max Payne
Ruby Sparks
King Kong (is King a part of his name?)
Jessica Jones

Didn't bother with those with only one name, there would be too many.

[Magna]

King Kong (is King a part of his name?

He's just "Kong" - "King" seems to be a descriptor.
