Criminal Sentence 510: What's in a Name II?

An error I see a lot:

"Edgar Alan Poe"

When you see the name Poe, think Allan: two L's and 2 A's!!

    "What's in a Name II?" Is this right? I notice you didn't write 'What's in a Name I' but just 'What's in a name.'Is it correct to say that it's understood to be I although not written so?

    Good question. I believe movies aren't Toy Story 1 and Lethal Weapon 1, so no 1 here.
