OC name problem

Background Pony #FF88
She was created by Lunei-Elune and her original name is Zafina. Then she was bought by artist:CerTheWitch and renamed to Nephthys (with nicknames Nephy and Neph).
All this renaming and nicknaming created a problem. Her art is present under 3 aforelinked tags. Two of these tags also contain different OCs of the same name. The only tag that has solely this specific OC in it, is Nephy. But it’s a nickname, so not a great candidate for the main tag.
Currently I’m tagging her with all those three tags. Is this the best possible method in these circumstances or should we have a tag like “oc:nephthys (certhewitch)”?
Also, if descriptions of those 3 tags explained this mess and provided disambiguations à la Wikipedia, it would greatly help.

@Mildgyth
And should “oc:nephthys (certhewitch)” imply regular “oc:nephthys” or should it merely be listed in the description of “oc:nephthys”?

You may also add that information to their tag, via the Tagging Discussion -> OC Tag Description Requests thread.

Having an implication back to oc:nephthys makes sense - and as they’re both versions of oc:nephthys so maybe document the disambiguation info under that tag as well.
That way someone doesn’t have to know the full disambiguation to find them.
