"Lord Courtenay"
Does the subject of this article really use the courtesy title Lord Courtenay, given that he is a Los Angeles lawyer? Courtesy titles don't actually exist, hence the name; officially in Britain his name would be "Charles Peregrine Courtenay, Esquire" and if he used the courtesy title then "commonly called Lord Courtenay" would be added. If he doesn't use the title then he's not "commonly called" anything but Charles Courtenay, and that should be the title of this article. Opera hat (talk) 21:54, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The family tree at the Powderham Castle website doesn't style him "Lord Courtenay", though the son of the 13th Earl is given the courtesy title. Opera hat (talk) 22:02, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
