I'm certainly not insistent on the canonical article name, but the "lordly names" are indeed used by the ...hmmm... "high level"? international bodies for which I've been doing the data entry, such as the International Crisis Group and the Atlantic Council. Unfortunately, they aren't consistent in their usage -- some do use the location suffix, some put the common name (Paddy), or (Chris) in parentheses, etc.

My goal is to find the usage that will cause the least complaint by R-templates, especially when I'm entering membership lists of policy influencing organizations.

Certainly feel free to do redirects, and we shall figure out what is highest probability. The Library of Congress has a definitive name list, but that's for cataloging authors. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
