Why is Anderson referred to as F. Anderson?

Who will he be confused with if he is simply Anderson?

{Ed033's Note - It depends what F. stands for :)

Brazilians have always been funny about the names on their shirts.

They have a different naming convention to us. his birth name is actually fillipe Anderson pereira gomes. Ronaldinho for example birth name is Ronaldo de assis morreria. I believe it's something to do with having many family names from both your parents in your name. Am not sure though. But the players tend to use one of their given fornames or just make a new name up entirely as in some cases.
