In the article Duniho favours Marshall as best name. Interesting that Chancellor gets the call in title, though probably the third most familiar of Marshall(RN), Champion(RN), Chancellor in English. Chancellor is the most ambiguous because also used for 'BN'. ''Whereas the name Chancellor has more frequently been used for other pieces,'' notes Duniho, including Centaur(BN). That's reason enough to avoid Chancellor anymore. A lot of work goes into finding the approximately 40 usages of Champion Duniho discovers from 1617 to 2002.
