Non-player’s nitpick: Khan is a title, so no more a qualification for a name starting with K than King Henry would be. OTOH, Prof. Pepperwinkle probably saw that and jumped to Kublai.

Quondam, nah, I just guessed the wrong Khan. I disagree with your premise: in a number of cases a title has been associated as part of a name for so long, it should be considered such. This is mainly true for titles that don’t stand alone as words in English. King, Queen, Lord, Sir, Cardinal, for instance, wouldn’t be a name, but Khan or Caesar, yep. But that’s just my opinion.

272

I agree, given the vagaries of the English language.
