Is it mandatory to say Ryan Lewis' full name, whenever he's mentioned in a conversation?

It's a slight re-wording of a Maya Angelou quote:

"One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." — Maya Angelou
