=== Double names === Practice varies where monarchs go by two or more [[given name]]s. For [[Swedish monarchs]], the ordinal qualifies only the first name; for example, [[Gustav VI Adolf]], known as "Gustav Adolf", was the sixth Gustav/Gustaf, but the third Gustav Adolf. By contrast, the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] was ruled in turn by [[Frederick I of Prussia|Friedrich I]], [[Frederick William I of Prussia|Friedrich Wilhelm I]], [[Frederick II of Prussia|Friedrich II]], and [[Frederick William II of Prussia|Friedrich Wilhelm II]]; and later by [[Wilhelm I of Prussia|Wilhelm I]]. Likewise [[Pope John Paul I]], who chose his double name to honour predecessors [[John XXIII]] and [[Paul VI]], and was succeeded by [[John Paul II]].
