Further evidence that I just found that the names we have for the Weasley
kids may be their "real names" after all: Dumbledore tends to be more
formal and calls the students by their full name, such as "Mr. Ronald
Weasley" whenever he's referring to Ron.  BUT when Harry's in the hospital
wing at the end of PS/SS, Dumbledore refers to the toilet seat that
"Misters *Fred* and George Weasley" attempted to send.  So Fred, at least,
is not a Frederick.  No reason Bill can't just be Bill. :)
