In the case of Haruhi, I question this.
The Movie/Anime canon is almost identical to the novel canon.
KyoAni is rightly famous for its very faithful adaptations.
So much so that I don't see a problem with viewing the anime/movie canon as almost equivalent to the novel canon, really. Go with the novel in the precious few instances where the two conflict, but if the anime introduces something that the novel didn't (but which is
compatible with novel canon), then I don't see a problem with considering that anime element part of
real canon, unless a future novel contradicts it. And Sakanaka (and others) having two names would be one such element.
Heck, one Haruhi anime episode was even wrote by Tanigawa directly.
Honestly, quigon, I think that you're a bit too attached to your two name vs. one name idea. I really do think that the Movie has blown that out of the water. I can't imagine Tanigawa greenlighting the use of two names for these characters if he viewed "two names" as a key point of distinction, as it is in your theory. I also don't think that KyoAni would make a significant change with out first throwing it by Tanigawa, but I could be wrong there.
