On what basis are we saying that he called himself Harold? It looks to me like the Wikipedia article at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Nisbet has mistakenly introduced the idea that he was called Harold. I have various signatures of his in a guestbook where he variously refers to himself as "Hugh" or "Hugh A". Never Harold.
