Alison Rose asked this question about Little Fires Everywhere:
Do we ever find out Moody's real name? I mean, I assume Moody is a nickname. I've just started the book and don't think I saw a real name mentioned - does it ever come up or no? (Not a big deal but it just bugs me to only know a character's nickname, because ... I'm a dork, LOL)
Melissa In the Hulu series, he does state that it is a nickname.

However, when I was reading it I figured it was his given name because of the name Moody Spurgeon MacPhearson in Anne of Green Gables. There is a surname of Moody that exists as well and many families do use surnames as given names. In the film, Not Without My Daughter (which is based on a true story), the husband is called Moody but that is due to his surname being Mahmoody. In Harry Potter, Moody is used as surname. (less)
