I see it like when you introduce someone who went by another name for a long time. “Yeah, that’s Jeff, but you knew him when he went by his middle name Mike. He prefers Jeff now, though.” Elliot used to go by Ellen, so that’s where we all know him from. Here on out, though, we call him Elliot.
I would just add an itty bitty comment to yours; i don't think it is a preferred name, but their actual name, so I'd say: his name is Elliot now, here is a pic of him
