Croats of Boka Kotorska → Bokelji
According to the result from Google Books, there are 2,700 hints for "Bokelji", while "Croats of Boka Kotoska" gives only 5 hints. "Croats of Montenegro" gives slightly more then "Croats of Boka Kotorska", in total 7 hints.
"Bokelji" includes alot of books writen in Croatian language, however, if you count books, you will find more English-language books mentioning "Bokelji" then any other term for Croats living in Montenegro.
Also, similiar thing is with Bunjevci. The article isn't named Croats in Vojvodina, but Bunjevci. I know this was also done because some Bunjevci declare themselves as separate nation, but this article also includes Croats. – Wustenfuchs 15:30, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Bokelji refers to all inhabitants of Boka Kotorska, regardless of ethnic group (a majority of whom are not even Croats, but Serbs). Support move to Croats of Montenegro as per guideline.--Zoupan 20:46, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- Oppose, the article lede itself distinguishes with Bokelji, if the lede is correct. Historical dictionary of Croatia - Page 67 Robert Stallaerts 2010 however does equate Bokelji as Croats of Montenegro which would make a more recognisable, and wider article title.

- Oppose, the article should either stay where it is or renamed Croats of Montenegro. "Bokelji" is technically a term used for everyone living in and around the Bay of Kotor in the south of Montenegro, even though it is sometimes used as synonymous with ethnic Croats from that area. For example Croatian Wikipedia already recognizes that distinction and has separate articles on Bokeljski Hrvati ("Croats of Boka") and Bokelji ("People from Boka").

- Shouldn't it be the Croats of the Bay of Kotor per WP:UE (use English)? Cf. Bay of Kotor. — AjaxSmack 22:54, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
