Talk:Kumashi

Kumacy, Bearsy or Kumashi
It kinda bugs me how almost universally people call him "Kumacy". Where did that come from, did Oda put that? It seems strange to me because in this circumstance, you're translating half the name and leaving the other half in Japanese. Bearsy is one of the few instances I'd say the name should be trnanslated though to be honest. She calls him "Bear" since he's her stuffed Bear and adds the Shi at the end to be cute. It's not a name so much as it's her saying "My Widdle Bearsy Wearsy!". Either way, "Kumacy" is half-translated. The name should either be completely translated out as "Bearsy" (which is what I think should happen, since this is one of the VERY rare occasions in which it would be better to translate) or Leave the name entirely in Japanese as "Kumashi".DemonRin 23:23, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I completely agree with Demorin here, this article should be renamed to either Kumashi or Bearsy, I'm surprised actually that it stayed like this for so long! I request permission to rename the page. I personally prefer Bearsy. MasterDeva 23:11, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I also think that it should be renamed, however I prefer Kumashi. El Chupacabra 15:04, December 22, 2009 (UTC)

I still think Kumacy fits more. It's obviously supposed to be a play on "kuma" for bear, so in English "Bearsy" would make sense. The closest thing to that would be either "Kumasy" or "Kumacy", and "Kumacy" makes more sense phonetically. The Pope 17:04, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
