* There are a lot of royals from the Antiquity until the 18th century who share similar first names like Henry, Charles, Edward, Philippe, Maria, Mary, Gustav, George, John. To keep them apart ancient historians came up with self-invented nicknames for these people that usually describe their characters (UsefulNotes/RamsesII the Great, UsefulNotes/CyrusTheGreat, UsefulNotes/AlexanderTheGreat, UsefulNotes/PompeyTheGreat, Philippe the Good, Charles the Bold, John the Fearless, Louis the Pious, Akbar the Great, UsefulNotes/RichardTheLionheart, UsefulNotes/SuleimanTheMagnificent, William the Conqueror, UsefulNotes/IvanTheTerrible, UsefulNotes/PeterTheGreat, UsefulNotes/CatherineTheGreat, UsefulNotes/RobertTheBruce, UsefulNotes/FrederickTheGreat, UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler,...), mental state (Johanna the Mad), race or ethnicity (Philippe the Arab, UsefulNotes/ShakaZulu, Louis the German,...) or a notable physical appearance (Pippin the Short, Charles the Bald, Charles the Fat, Frederick Barbarossa (''Red Beard'')) or age (UsefulNotes/WilliamPittTheElder, UsefulNotes/WilliamPittTheYounger, Louis the Child,...). These names were definitely '''not''' used during the royals' own lifetime. In many cases the epithet ''the good'' or ''the bad'' is now contested by modern historians, because they were often applied to judgments and standards of people in later centuries. For instance, UsefulNotes/MaryTudor, nicknamed ''Bloody Mary'', may have executed a lot of people during her reign, but UsefulNotes/ElizabethI, who was often called ''Good Queen Bess'', didn't shy away from executing people either; she just didn't do it to restore Catholicism.

* In a more general example, many prehistoric mammals are only known by a common name as opposed to the specific/generic one (e.g. most people know what a Wooly Rhino is but not a ''Coelodonta'', even though both are names for the same animal). Dinosaurs aren't victims of this, but only because nobody gave them common names. ''Tyrannosaurus rex'' is the one big exception among dinosaurs, as both its generic and specific name are well known due to [[AwesomeMcCoolName how cool they sound]].
