Try using full titles for your page names. Then create a custom menu (via Appearance->Menus) and use the dropdown for each page/menu item to create a “short name” for the menus.
Thanks for the feedback. That sounds like a nice idea, but when I rename the “Navigation Label” it also changes the page name for the same name.
I don’t seem to be able to dissociate the two. Shame because that is all I would want to to…. any more ideas?
ahh, I correct… it did it! It did change the “page name” in the menu section but not in the title… that’s good enough for me!
