user:David Parker thinks it is necessary to postfix all royal names with of Country and so moved this page from Oscar I. I don't agree that this is necessary. Can anybody point me to anybody else named Oscar I? My point is that names should be as short as possible as long as they are not ambiguous. --user:LA2

The question is whether to use names as short as possible, or to use a consistent naming scheme that will reduce the odds of unanticipated ambiguity. I think I favor the longer " of country" form for this reason. Wesley

See naming standards. This has already been hashed over and over. --rmhermen
