The name is written inconsequently. Does this guy have Napoléon as one of his given names? There seam to be som kind of competition between royalities and ther heirs: to christian their childen with as many given names as possible. Highest number of names winns...

Sigh. Apparently too many are unaware of the fact that this family branch changed offcially their surname to "Napoleon" well over a century ago. They are NOT Bonaparte, nor are they actually known with surname Bonaparte: they always use "Prince Napoléon" as surname. 84.249.153.83 14:10, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
“Prince Napoléon” does not sound like a French surname to me. (If it had been written with a hyphen that had been an other case.) I thought it was a nickname used by people who wanted to re-establish the Bonaparte dynasty. If it IS a surname why is the headword “Jean-Christophe Bonaparte”? His father is written as “Charles Napoléon Bonaparte” and his paternal grandfather as “Louis Napoléon Bonaparte”. So it continuous all the way back to Jérôme Bonaparte, youngest brother of Napoléon I. Forgive me if I sound to suspicious! I am a sceptic and my sceptical thinking is usually alerted by the name “Napoléon”.

- This man's legal surname is not Bonaparte but Napoléon, as his grandfather's and his father's. He is Jean-Christophe Napoléon not Jean-Christophe Bonaparte. The issue of the prince Napoléon title is a different matter. 84.103.83.112 17:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
“Napoléon” is much more plausible as a surname. After all, male given names can be used as surnames in many European languages. But I have to repeat my question: why are the headwords “Jean-Christophe Bonaparte” and “Charles Napoléon Bonaparte”? (“Louis Napoléon Bonaparte” leads to Napoléon III.) Give me a credible explanation and I will believe you!

[edit] Title
France is a republic, why does he have Imperial highness and prince as his style and title?
It is unofficial and in my opinion quite anachronistic.

- France recognises noble and royal titles. - dwc lr 13:10, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean with “recognices”? After two revolutions there should not be any privileges left!

- I believe titles are considered part of peoples names and that they don't give holders any privileges. - dwc lr 13:52, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Why is his style Imperial Highness when the pretender page lists his father as the pretender to the royal throne of Wesphalia in addition to the imperial throne of France? Should his style be Imperial and Royal Highness? Emperor001 18:06, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- Imperial Highness is a higher style than Royal Highness. If someone holds both they don't necessarily have to use both. Charles 17:48, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
I don’t consider that important since the French throne have been abolished too long. Also, Westphalia was a short lived state that don't have any up-to-dateness. Maybe we should compare to rich Indians who call themselves maharajas...

[edit] Famous haplogroup members
As a living male line of Napoleon I's Y-chromosome via directly from Napoleon's brother (i.e. of the same father), the Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroup for Napoleon Bonaparte could be discovered by testing Jean-Christophe Napoléon or another in the same direct male line of Napoleon (inheritance of the same Y-chromosome) like Jean-Christophe's father Charles Napoléon. This is of great interest for discovering Famous haplogroup members, Somebody swab this guy and make the findings public! 67.5.156.242 (talk) 09:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
You make me very curious. What is your name? You only have to tell your most commonly used given name! Which brother do you descend from and how are you related to him? I just want to make sure that you have not been duped by a fake genealogy.
