POTENTIAL SPOILER FROM 'Tarkin' BELOW (not that it's out yet, so I haven't read it or anything; it's just some changes to 'canon' that apparently will occur in that novel that have been released).
According to Wikipedia, under the 'canon' banner (rather than the new 'Legends' banner), there has been a change to Palpatine's page: Mainly, that he is now named 'Sheev'. Apparently, this development happens in 'Tarkin' (the upcoming Luceno novel), which already seems to have some things contradicting what Luceno wrote in 'Plagueis' (such as Sate Pestage's roles and, of course, Palpatine having a first name all of a sudden...).
Interesting.

Interesting. Pretty sure he always had one, even according to the Plagueis novel. He just elected to never use it - and possibly even have it legally changed to just Palpatine.

Yeah, he just never used it and according to Plagueis had pretty much disowned it I thought, so I don't know why with the release of Tarkin it would start being used, and be referenced as having done so before/having people refer to him with it all of a sudden. It just seems kinda strange, but I suppose it's nice to finally have the name revealed lol

Do people refer to him by that name in the book? I don't see anything on Wookieepedia that indicates that.

A quote from Luceno on writing Tarkin:
“I worry about alienating the fans and the readers who have been with this franchise for however long it’s been, because it’s a large group and they’re very loyal. I chose not to really reference too much EU material only because of the setting of the story, but it was still there. It was still there to pick and choose from. I think going forward what may happen is you may see writers writing around some of that older material that’s now classified as Legends – writing around it rather than trying to overwrite it.”

Why not just incorporate it? As soon as things are confirmed as having happened in a new canon book, it's canon again. Voila.

I think he's overestimating how much some writers care.
