Should the canonical name be Felix Mendelssohn or Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy? We have both names floating around here ...

The only correct form

The correct form is "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy", because this is the the only form he personally used throughout his life in public. So every "Felix Mendelssohn" should be replaced by "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy", hust to be philologically correct.
