      When should I use the whole style?

      Use the full form where the institution has a reason to identify the person precisely, such as an appointment notice. In dialogue, decide which shorter form the speaker would choose.

      The personal name identifies a person. A designation such as registrar or charter holder says why that person is named in a particular document. Keep track of both as you draft. In private a former governor may use the same name as before, but a clerk working from last year’s register might still call them governor. Put a number after a dynastic name only when a succession or a repeated public name gives the number a purpose. Decide which office would keep that record and how other characters could check it.
