The correct polite form of address is Mr Ban. Using just "Ban" in writing about him would keep on leading to double-takes and is arguably wrong anyway, so I think Dave is correct in suggesting that we call him Ban Ki-moon. "Ki-moon", "Mr Ki-moon" or "Mr Moon" are all laughably incorrect. Best to have a little respect and check it out before using his name.
