There have been constant shifts with the raiden tag, I just want to settle the tag.
Raiden is a leaked character which is not currently in the game.
She has been mentioned in the game to go by Raiden, and is called Raiden Shogun.
I'm in favor of Raiden as the Chara name as it's consistent the other nicknamed characters and Shogun is just a title.
Of course the tag will be changed to whatever the name is given when the character is released, so this is just temporary.

Why not wait until she's officially released then?
Because fanartists don't wait on official releases to draw fanart of leaked stuff, and until then that art gotta be tagged somehow. And this particular tag is getting tag-battled.
I think that whatever name she has ever been mentioned with in game, if any, should take precedence.
And even with chars that have full names and that are introduced as such, like Kazuha, we seem to favour the "singlename_(genshin_impact)" format, so Raiden_(Genshin_Impact) is probably the most consistent with the rest.

Tartaglia is also just a title, but that's what ended up being listed on the character screen. Not really a sound reason to disavow a perfectly usable (and expressedly temporary until we know an official name) tag option, IMO.

The answer is, unfortunately, "all of them." Here's the start of a conversation from Chapter I, Part III ("The Fond Farewell") which is the most significant mention of her within the main quest thus far:
Zhongli: I fear that continuing your journey may be difficult. The nation that neighbors Liyue by sea, Inazuma, is presently closed.
Traveler: "Closed"?
Zhongli: Yes. The nation has been closed by order of its deity.
Zhongli: The Electro Archon, Baal -and just as the people of Liyue preferred to call me Rex Lapis, she too goes by another name among locals in Inazuma.
Paimon: Um, Paimon thinks we've heard that one before. Uh... Rai... Raiden?
Zhongli: That is the case. And since Raiden is also the Shogun of the Inazuma Bakufu, people call her the Raiden Shogun.
Zhongli continues to refer to her as "Raiden Shogun" throughout the remainder of the conversation.
In non-main story mentions, however, like the archive description of Shibas and the flavor text of the Retracing Bolide artifact set, the terms "Shogun" or "Inazuma Shogun" seem to predominate instead.
