    When we refer to Frederick II, it's always as "The Great". I've only heard Napoleon refered to as his actual name.

    No, I always have heard him referred to simply as Napoleon, and I just call him Nappy. I know he was also called Boney. :D

    Well all those nicknames were common for the time. He was usually called Napoleon the Great.

    Yeah I have read that thread before on Historum. Brought up a lot of good points & Napoleon was also determined to be the winner.
