How it's used
Names of public figures are often used in casual conversation to refer to specific periods of government policy or past political events. Using the full name is standard when discussing historical figures or former officials in a neutral or descriptive context. It does not carry the same level of informality as using a nickname or a shortened version of a name.
Examples
Gregory So served as a bureau director back then.
