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?

[edit] Default posthumous name?

Is it true that when a king dies, he is given a default posthumous name of 大行 before he is given an official posthumous name by his successor? An example is Le Hoan, after he died he is known as Lê Đại Hành (黎大行) because his successor neglected to give him a posthumous name. DHN 22:17, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
