Talk:Fat Lion

pHat?
The reason I decided to translated his name to Phat Lion over Fat Lion, was because "funky" is used to describe him. Even Oda's concept art of the Lion he writes in English "Funk" next to him. So I took the liberty to translate it to Phat with a ph, as I thought it was suitable and adds another layer to this creature's name. Of course, this is not the official English name, and I'm sure it can be debated against.Mr.S 05:36, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Maybe I missed something, but what is the relation between Funk and Ph ? Kdom 07:32, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well I believe that a funky animal's name sounds better as Phat Lion over just plain old boring Fat Lion. Funk and Phat are kind of similes in slang terminology. See what I did there?Mr.S 08:44, June 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Umm, as innovative as that is, it's probably best to just use what the Japanese translates to without any alteration. While it's true using phat would relate to the Funk sounds(?) in the pic, unless it's romanized as such, it's a bit speculative.Mugiwara Franky 16:24, June 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I still don't get it, why are we using the english translation? Should've we just use the japanese version?GMTails 03:00, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Problem is whether we should translate the animal names into English or leave them untranslated.Mugiwara Franky 07:35, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's true that strong world animal page name lack of coherence. Some are fully translated, other half translated...
 * Most of the animal names in Animal Species article are translated . So if we want to be coherent we should translate these ones too. I also think it is more clear since not everyone knows what Kamakiri, Tako or Kuma means.
