Person seems to have several different names

On the profile of Samual Bianco (L29Z-1Q2), it says his profile score is high, and "Data is conflict free" is listed with 5 stars. However, the records list a dozen and a half different names for him and his relatives, leaving me highly suspicious this might be several people combined into one. I'm surprised the algorithm doesn't seem bothered by it, though maybe it's just me. Does anyone know what might be going on here?

    I only see two truly distinct names. There's a note that explains that situation; I don't know how reliable that note is, but it seems plausible. All other variations for those two names seem to be the usual slight variations that happen with records of that time period.

    @Alan E. Brown I have noticed since I posted that there are two distinct names: Samual Bianco and Frank John Nancino. However, it seems like they might be separate brothers. There's a letter written by "Frank" that seems like it was read at his funeral, and it implies he had a brother named Sam. https://www.familysearch.org/memories/memory/124722938?cid=mem_copy

    Looking in the change history, they originally were two separate profiles but were later merged for unclear reasons. Because the names are so different, I'm still suspicious they really are different people, but I haven't found any solid evidence yet.

    Notes from past contributors are saying that he changed his name later in life, and that it's been confirmed by family members. It seems like they've done more research into it, so I'll take their word for it.
