Prince Hulon Preston Jr. → Prince Preston – per WP:COMMONNAME. Preston was not known as "Prince Hulon Preston Jr." at all, and was far more commonly referred to simply as "Prince Preston." a Newspapers.com search in Georgia from 1934 to 1961 (the years he was in public service) shows 2,421 results for "Prince Preston." a search for "Prince Preston Jr." shows 185 results and for "Prince Hulon Preston" shows just 2 results. because fewer Georgia newspapers are captured in the Newspapers.com database, I performed the same search nationally and found basically the same ratio of results: 13,233 results for "Prince Preston"; 2,452 results for "Prince Preston Jr."; and still just 2 results for "Prince Hulon Preston Jr." thus, per WP:COMMONNAME, "Prince Preston" is the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources).
