You mention that there have been 21 people which have been able to call themselves “Napoléon Bonaparte”. Is there a list of them?
I have made such a list myself and numbered them after birth year:
1. Giuseppe Napoleone Buonaparte / “Pepe” / Joseph Napoléon Bonaparte / José I Napoléon / Ghjaseppu Nabulione Bonaparte (1768 – 1844).

16. Roland Napoléon Bonaparte (1858 – 1924).

18. Jérôme Napoléon Charles Bonaparte (1878 – 1945).

20. Charles Marie Jérôme Victor Napoléon Bonaparte (born in 1950).
21. Jean-Christophe Louis Ferdinand Albéric Napoléon Bonaparte (born in 1986).
Names within quotation marks are nicknames. There might have been more, but these are all I know about. All are related on the father’s side except number 7 and 15. Number 7 was born outside marriage and number 15 was his son. The two youngest ones are still alive. The youngest is the same Jean-Christophe which is mentioned in The Bonapartic clone. The second youngest is his father Charles.
