What should we do about character \

What should we do about character \\\"title\\\" spoilers that show up in names? It makes sense when someones name is revealed to be someone else s name, or a character primarily known by a nickname gets their true name revealed. But sometimes I\\\'ve seen tropers tacking on adjectives that are spoilerific, and I need some guidance on what to do.
I\\\'ll give an example from a hypothetical story I will make up as I write this post.
Lets say there\\\'s a fantasy novel, and there\\\'s a government body where there are twenty five Lords and only one High Lord.
So Bob starts out as Lord Bob and its well established that he\\\'s next on the chain of office for High Lord. The current High Lord, \\\"High Lord Charlie\\\" does not want to ever resign, and often states \\\"I will rule until it kills me.\\\"
Halfway through the series in book 3, High Lord Charlie dies a tragic and spoiler-tastic death at the hands of a conspiracy.
Then the tropers rename Bobs entry from \\\"Lord Bob\\\" to \\\"[[spoiler:High]] Lord Bob\\\" which spoils the fact that High Lord Charlie dies because there\\\'s no other way Bob could have taken the office and there\\\'s nothing else that would fit in that spoiler box.
What should I do in this case? Should I rename Lord Bobs folder to \\\"Lord Bob/[[spoiler: High Lord Bob IIV]]\\\" or just delete the \\\"[[spoiler:High]]\\\" and be on my merry way?
On a side note, if someone has a folder title like \\\"[[spoiler:Former]] King Waldorf Winston Mustache XIIL\\\", can I just go ahead and delete the \\\"former\\\" for both adding nothing and spoiling?
