Ngrams may be of use here. "Franz Ferdinand" will always get more hits than "Archduke Franz Ferdinand" since the former is a proper substring of the latter. The linked query shows what percentage of occurrences of "Franz Ferdinand" are immediately preceded by "Archduke". For most years this hovers around 50%. Data after 2003 or so may be polluted by references to the band. Colin M (talk) 17:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could possibly be the goldfish who lived in our hall from the late fifties. Imaginatorium (talk) 05:23, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
