Milan Obrenović II, Prince of Serbia → Milan Obrenović, Prince of Serbia – To make it more consistent with his father and brother, both moved earlier this year. This would be similar to how the Serbian language version of Wikipedia names the page.They simply use prince in brackets but we'd use the proper, formal title. The problem with the current name, which was also an issue for his father and brother, is the lack of sources for the bizarre ordinals. This is not how they're remembered in Serbian and regional historiography and that is reflected in sources and the Serbian version of the Article. He had a cousin who was also called Milan and was also Prince of Serbia but the cousin became king so ambiguity is generally not an issue.

 * Neutral - I supported the resulting titles in both of the RMs mentioned by the nom. However, looking at some sources from his brother, it looks like at least a few sources use the numerals. I'm wondering if this like the Tongan monarchs who all include "Tupou" in their name with a numeral (eg. Sālote Tupou III, George Tupou V, Tupou VI). estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:07, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
