Talk:Peachbeard

Name?
Is his name really Pinkbeard? Momo means peach, shouldn't it be peachbeard?

It can be translated as "Pink". KingCannon (talk) 20:04, May 11, 2018 (UTC)

Are we gonna ignore Momohige's Wanted Poster explicitly saying "MOMOHIGE"? 02:47, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

Yes, because anime spellings of a canon name are not reliable. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 03:11, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

But we changed SORA to SOLA based on the animation.... Meshack (talk) 04:00, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

That was a mistake and the pages were changed back to Sora. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 04:20, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

Besides that, there’s no other official transliteration or translation of his name. Until Oda does one, we should use Momohige Meshack (talk) 22:39, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

"Pinkbeard" is following the naming convention set by Blackbeard, Whitebeard, and Brownbeard. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 23:03, May 5, 2019 (UTC)

I would argue that since Momo can mean both pink and peach, and since there is more evidence for peach, he should be Peachbeard if anything. Evidence 1: Pinkbeard's ship has designs of peaches everywhere. Evidence 2: Strictly speaking the momo kanji (桃) means peach and only that, translating as pink is a very loose translation, as pink would be ピンク. Evidence 3:https://one-piece.com/log/character/detail/Peachbeard.html. As opposed to Pinkbeard, there's no evidence for it. And since Pinkbeard is based off of translation, not transliteration or romanization (same with Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Brownbeard), why not use the most common and evidence-based translation. Again, I emphasize Pinkbeard is a translation. There is more evidence (and usage) of Peachbeard as the translation.--Nightmare Pirates (talk) 21:17, May 16, 2019 (UTC)

I agree with Nightmare. I also think it would be a good idea to use the wanted poster in this case. 00:56, June 27, 2019 (UTC)

I'm fine with Peachbeard. Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 14:39, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

By that logic, Brownbeard should be "Teabeard", because 茶(cha) in 茶ひげ(Chahige) literally means "tea". But it isn't, because in Japanese language, both 茶 and 桃(momo, "peach") are used to describe the colours of brown and pink respectively. Same thing with epithets of Tokikake(Chaton) and Gion(Momousagi). --JouXIII (talk) 17:12, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

茶 is an abbreviation of 茶色 (meaning "brown") so it’s valid Meshack (talk) 17:48, August 28, 2019 (UTC)

Well, there's no evidence of Teabeard, but there is of Peachbeard.Nightmare Pirates (talk) 22:39, August 28, 2019 (UTC)
