According to the article a posthumous name is given only to royalty. I thought that all Buddhists received a posthumous name -- certainly Sen no Rikyu wasn't royalty, and he has one. Can anyone clarify? Exploding Boy 05:38, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

In fact, the posthumous name isn't the name give to a dead emperor, but a posthumous title to call him respectfully. Am I allowed to move this article to "Posthumous title"? ^_* ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 16:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Exactly speaking, Father of the country is never the posthumous name of Sun Yat-Sen. Posthumous name must be given strictly according to the Law of Posthumous Title. ^_* ——Nussknacker胡桃夹子^.^tell me... 16:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

How about a mention of Fight Club? "In death, we have a name. That name is Robert Paulson." 63.145.155.66 19:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
