Google "Arnie" and see what happens - it's an extremely common name for him.

It was just something people that knew him personally would sometimes call him. He was almost never called Arnie by anyone outside his circle, especially not during TV interviews, news stories, rallies, bodybuilding videos, or Movie credits which is what the general public knows him from. It would be the same as saying "Barry" is an extremely common nickname for Barrack Obama. It's a known nickname, but almost never used by the general public.

Just Google "Arnie" *sigh*

Only people in his circle? Where did you get this nonsense, and why write it so confidently?

On top of the fact that he's never gone by that name, why would you not try using "arnold" or even just his last name? This seems like you were trying to get it wrong.

"In Canada and the U.S., the game is known as Clue. It was retitled because the traditional British board game Ludo, on which the name is based, was less well known there than its American variant Parcheesi."
