We're only supposed to use Jr., Sr., III, etc., right?

Do you think these were entered before that decision was made, or are they odd exceptions to the rule?
Queen of Great Britain Victoria
George Gordon Byron Lord Byron

I must have closed the tab for this one, but we also have Alfred Lord Tennyson.

I went ahead and combined Robert Lord Browning with Robert Browning, as the second version had more items anyway.

I'm sure there are lots of examples like these which will come up over time, so I felt a need to double-check the policy.

Thanks!

Grr. Someone undid my Byron edit. :P

I'm going with LoC on Victoria: "Victoria, Queen of Great Britain".

Im interested in the answer to this one too, if you take the case of Lady Colin Campbell.

She uses her title named to write under, (husbands name, prefixed with Lady). So while she has her own name if you removed the Lady from the title, the name becomes her "ex" husband, there are probably others out there

How about calling her Gertrude Elizabeth Blood? Or Gertrude Elizabeth Blood Campbell? (as listed here)

Actually, which one do you mean? The one currently alive, or the one who died a 100 years ago?

Its the one that is currently alive, has a male name I think - George?

If some one said to me Lady Colin Campbell I would know who they where talking about, but if they called her by the other name,, I would not have a clue :)

I think she's one of the exceptions. Colin Campbell is not her (and IS at least three other people, I think). And as you say, she exclusively goes by Lady Colin Campbell.
