Having learned French history in France, it is difficult for me to switch to Anglo-based treatment of Napoléon Bonaparte!  And I often get shocked reading other articles in en:wikipedia, particularly those dealing with French royalty.   

 You must be correct with his mother calling  him *Napoleone* (unless she had a nickname for him!).  When Bonaparte (mais oui!) became Premier Consul, he was referred to as *Bonaparte*, *Napoléon Bonaparte*, never *Napoléon* alone, and mostly as *Premier Consul*.   Remember, listed by their last name only, the three consuls were Bonaparte, Sieyès & Ducos. I personally cannot revise French history because Anglos prefer to be on a first-name basis.   

 Because of my profession, I do not always live with my personal library & must wait until I return to France to have access to my books.  However, knowing who several French authors are on the subject of our dear *Nappy*, I shall try to find documents in the Internet, possibly with translation in English.
