to call someone by another name

Question

Fue el primero en llamar La Calavera Garbancera La Calavera Catrina.

Here, I'm trying to say 'He was the first to call La Calavera Garbancera [by the name of] La Calavera Catrina'. Can I just say the names right in a row like that or do I have to include something in between?

Answer 1

With llamar you don´t need anything between the names.

With referir you would need a between the names.
